We have two apple trees on our property that we planted 17 years ago and this year we had a bumper crop. We were bringing buckets of apples to our friends who have horses so the apples would not go to waste. Towards the end of summer when the zucchinis are plentiful, we have zucchini bread as a constant in our household. I have tried making apple bread but I have never really found a recipe I really liked. That is until now. Terri took Emily and our visiting German student, Karen, to visit Grandma Marge in southern Minnesota. While they were visiting Grandma Marge made this Apple Bread and was willing to share the recipe. The Apple Bread has a nice apple flavor and is similar to our Zucchini Bread in texture. Try this delicious recipe.
