I like the idea of butter in a quick bread, but experience has shown me that you compromise some moistness. Breads made with oil are simply a lot more moist. I used half white and half brown sugar and, because I wasn't keen on the cloves, substituted pumpkin pie spice. I added about 2/3 c. dried cherries (really nice!) and glazed the warm bread with 1 c. powdered sugar and 2 T. half and half. All in all a good bread, and pretty too, but I think next time I might try adding about 2 T. of oil to the batter for additional moistness without sacrificing that great buttery flavor.

Followed the recipe as written and found the bread tasty but very dry. I used Granny Smith apples and I don't think my 2 were big enough because the apple flavor is just barely detectable through the cinnamon. I do plan on making this again in the future with larger/more apples and maybe shortening instead of butter or some applesauce added to make the bread more moist.

I made this recipe twice. The first time I followed it exactly with white sugar and baked it for the full hour. My bread was great, but a little burnt on the bottom. The second time I substituted half of the white sugar with brown sugar and reduced the bake time to 45 minutes. It was just perfect!!

Loved this recipe. I did use brown sugar instead of white and shredded my apples instead of chopping. It turned out simply lovely. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this recipe exactly as directed, except that I made it as muffins to cut bake time for a special Valentine's Day breakfast. Turned out delicious! Just before putting them in the oven, I sprinkled turbinado sugar on top. I baked them for 20 minutes at 375 degrees and they turned out perfect. Made 18 muffins.

I make loaves of bread for my husband's employees every Christmas. We've moved, but I have recieved emails from 10 employees at our old location requesting a couple loaves of this bread, if I happen to be coming to town. It's one of my top requests. The only change I make is to add 1/2 teaspoon on both ginger and nutmeg.

This is very nice! The only thing I did differently is that I grated the apples and I left out the cloves. Before I added the apples I tested the batter and found that it needed more cinnamon, so I stirred an additional TSP. into the grated apples then folded them into batter. The batter is very thick and heavy,almost like a cookie dough! But once it baked up it's nice, light and moist. Thx.

I made this last week for the first time. I followed the recipe using 2 Granny Smith apples, and added 3/4 cup of raisins. I was a bit worried upon putting the bread into the pan, as it seemed rather thick and I was worried the raisins I added might further dry out the bread. I couldn't have been more wrong! The bread was moist and delicious and the entire family enjoy it! I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
