Rating this on behalf of Mom, as I didn't make it. She said it's the best bread she has ever made. She thought the batter was too dry at first, but as it sat it moistened up and was a great consistency. She used half white/ half brown sugar for this. She also said that this actually had an apple-ish taste to it, like if it had been made with Granny Smith apples. Honestly, she made it sound so good I'm looking forward to making it for myself!

I forgot to add to my last post that I used 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar as that was all I had.

All of a sudden we have a lot of green tomatoes that are going to be ruined by frost. We have picked them and I am going to make this bread, freeze it and give as gifts. We love the flavor and it is wonderful for a snack or for breakfast instead of the "usual". It is quick and easy to make, which is great!
