This is a 5 star recipe. I made this for my Dad and sense Mom died no body has been able to bake as well as her. But Dad loved this bread and said it was as good as moms.

I just love this recipe and make it every couple of weeks during the fall/winter. I like the recipe as written, but I often sub 1/2 c. brown sugar for the sugar. Thank you for this great recipe!

Love this bread. It was so easy to make and I made it using my bread machine. Came out moist. My family loved it the only thing I added was a little bit of brown sugar because My apple sause was unsweetened.
