I adjusted the spices to my liking (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger) and used pureed apples minus the core but including the peeling which added some fibre and a bit of color. The flavor was great but I found the loaf didn't raise much. I used two pans but probaby could have put all the batter in one pan for a higher loaf.

Great Great Bread, except I had to use 3/4 of my batter just to get the bread tall enough. This recipes needs to be adjusted for that fact. It's never tall enough, unless you use most of your batter on one loaf instead of two. I used applesauce also and threw some mashed bananas in. Very Moist and Yummy!! I reduced temp to 325, to risk browning prematurely, Looks perfect!

This recipe is great! I didn't have any apples so I used crushed pineapple. It turned out perfect!

This is soooo good! I replaced most of the oil with applesauce, used only one apple(with the peel on), and also added 2 cups of raisins and chopped dates (a cup each). I only used half the walnuts as well. The bread rose a little more than I expected and was moist enough. Very very good!

To: KIJEST, Perhaps your oven is hotter than normal, I used to get "burned" Amish friendship bread and breads in general because my ovens thermostat was going bad and couldn't regulate my oven properly. I replaced it and used this recipe again for the full 50 minutes, it turned out perfect!

These were a little heavy and didn't rise very well. I used two 8x4 pans but could have just used one, they came out so short. They overcooked--dry inside and too dark on the outside so maybe next time I'll lower the oven temp or take them out sooner. They weren't as flavorful as I remember from the Amish friendship bread we used to make in college, like maybe it needs more spice or something. I'll try it again (have to use up the rest of the starter!) and see if I can get it to where I like it.

I made several versions of amish friendship bread and this was the one that everyone loved. It's hard to please everytone - which consists of 6 kids and a husband. Thanks for the wonderful recipe

This is the recipe we love. It's much better than the ones out there that include pudding mixes! We think this is much healthier and rises better!

Excellent bread! Family loved it. Kids thought it was great fun to make and eat. Loved it with peanut butter spread on it after school. Husband enjoyed it toasted.
