This recipe was given to me by a patient when I worked at the hospital. It makes two loaves. It is a favorite with a special memory attached.
Gather ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups canola oil- this is the original amount. It makes a bread that is greasy. I cut the oil back to 1 cup and add 1/2 cup apple sauce.
- 2 cups sugar-again the original recipe. 1-1/2 cups is plenty.
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups apples, peeled and chopped
Directions
Beat oil and 4 eggs. Add apple sauce if you want to cut back on the oil.
Next
Add sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.
Now add
Flour and baking soda.
Put it all together
Mix to combine. Add the apples.
Lastly
Grease loaf pans. It makes two loaves or you can do one loaf pan and two mini pans. Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake
Bake at 325 degrees for 60 minutes.
The mini loaf pans will be done sooner due to their size. Start checking them at about 40 minutes. A toothpick in the center of the bread should come out clean when the bread is done.
Let the bread cool slightly, then slide a knife around the edges of the loaf pans to help loosen the bread. Gently tip them out. Refrigerate. Can also be frozen.
Enjoy this great apple bread any time!
