This bread had a very nice apricot flavor and we loved how the top got a little crunchy! The only substitute I had to make was peach juice in place of orange juice or lemonade. I was anxious to try the recipe and only had the peach juice. Thanks for a great bread that my whole family enjoyed.

I've made tons of quick breads, but this one just didn't make it. It was very bland with barely a trace of any apricot flavor. Also, the texture was not up to par, it was neither cakey nor bready, just mushy.
