very nice bread. it's slightly sweet, but not too sweet, and is chock full of flavor and moistness. bravo on the recipe! I didn't have a problem with taking it out of the pan relatively quickly . . .I may have waited a few minutes--not sure, but it came out just fine. the only thing I didn't use in the recipe was soaking the raisins in apple juice. i just tossed them in without bothering with that step, and ti turned out fine. thanks for the recipe!

Very, very good! I didn't have quick-cooking oats, but it still turned out nicely. I disagree with turning it out of the pan immediately...it fell apart, and in my experience, that happens when you turn it out too soon. Next time, I'll let it sit for ten minutes before turning. It is lightweight and flavorful. If you're finding your quick breads to be dense, it's likely you're overstirring. When you combine the wet & dry ingredients, stir it gently with a rubber spatula just until it is blended. It should come out great then!

A delicious bread that tastes like apple crisp! I added about 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg and increased the brown sugar to a full cup. I used less than half the amount of oil and it still came out incredibly moist. I also added one chopped apple and next time I might add some chopped walnuts and a little vanilla. This one's a keeper.

This was so easy to make as part of a gift platter. I did not have quick cooking oats so I pulsed normal rolled oats in a blender until very fine and that worked well as a substitute.

This is a good recipe especially for a breakfast bread (one feels like they are getting their cereal but a little more interesting). Have to agree with other reviewers that it does need something to pep up the flavour and, for me, is to substitute 1/4 cup frozen concentrated orange juice for the apple juice. Orange and oatmeal make a good marriage. Hope this is helpful to others.

Very Good! I omitted the oil and added a whole, shredded apple and a dash of nutmeg. Not too sweet and very hearty.

pretty good--I actually followed the recipe as is for a change--mostly. I did make these as muffins instead though, and put a little strudel on top. I had chunky applesause and that was really good.. Very light muffins, not really a bread-like texture.

Pretty good, but there's something missing that I can't put my finger on. In the recipe's defense, I did use Splenda brown sugar instead of regular, but that usually doesn't compromise taste. I also added a splash of vanilla and a handful of chopped pecans, and they seemed to work well in the recipe. The bread is very moist and not overly sweet, which is good. I will keep this recipe and maybe try some other modifications to see if I get a better result.

I cut the recipe in half and made 6 delicious muffins. As recommended from another review, I left out the oil and added a little extra applesauce. I did not have any raisins so I left that out. I also sprinkled some oats on top before baking. There is not a strong apple taste, but healthy and delicious! I will make again.

I think that this recipe may be good with modifications. I followed the recipe very closely and it cooked so moist that it was doughy in the middle. Also, there is very little apple taste. I would not make this recipe again.

Yes, this does turn out nice and moist. I omitted the oil and added more applesauce (which did make it more "appley"). One idea may be to add shredded apples for more texture and flavor.

Super easy and very moist. I used cooking spray to grease pan instead of flour. It also took a little longer to cook.

This bread is very moist. You would think there was more oil in it. I will be making this one again for sure, maybe adding some grated carrots next time.
