I needed to ammend my prior review. This was as I mentioned in my first review is a flavorful recipe. I liked the brown sugar/cinnamon top. The top does crumble a bit when I try to cut it, but to minimize that I turn it to the side and slice it. This is a dense cake, very good for breakfast,with coffee, or just a snack with a glass of milk. I did omit the nuts. I have made it 3 times this week. I just felt that my first review made it appear that it wasnt a good recipe, but my husband and neighbor loved it...Thanks for the recipe.

This is a moist and flavorful loaf. The apple lends just the right amount of sweetness to its taste. I prepared in only one 8 1/2 x 5" loaf pan which was ample the this amount of batter, and baked for about 50 minutes. I did omit the 1/2 of raisins only because I did not have any on hand. I loved the brown sugar & cinnamon topping! Thanks for sharing, Suzanne!
