It's Apple Season!

My sister and her husband have two apple trees in their yard that are just loaded with apples! So she invited us to come and pick as many as we wanted. Free apples just for the pickin'? I'm there!

 

So many good things can be made from apples but one of my favorites (right behind apple crisp) is Apple Bread. It's easy and quick and never lasts very long at this house! 

 

I started with an apple peeler although you wouldn't need one since the recipe only calls for 2 cups of chopped apples.

 

 

Since I was also going to make apple crisp I pulled out the peeler.

 

 

 

Mix all the ingredients together and put in a bread pan.

 

 

 

Then add the extra special touch--a sugar cinnamon topping.

 

 

Pop in the oven and hope that time passes quickly as you smell the aroma! 

 Look at that finished product.

 

 

Wish I could cut you a slice!

Instead, I'll share the recipe so you can go make your own.

 

 

 

Apple Bread

 

1/2 cup veg. oil

1 cup sugar

2 T milk

2 cups flour

2 cups chopped apples

1 t baking soda

1/2 t salt

1 t vanilla

2 eggs

 

Cream the eggs, sugar and oil. Add the vanilla. Mix your dry ingredients and add them to the egg/sugar mixture. Add the milk and apples.

Put in a greased bread pan.

 

Topping

 

1 T melted butter

2 T brown sugar

2 T white sugar

1 T flour

1 t cinnamon

 

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 325. 

 I used small bread pans so my bread didn't take quite that long to bake.

 

Enjoy!
