I first served my family this rich bread with its spicy apple filling years ago. From the very first bite, it was a hit with everyone. Now I bake it often for church groups, potluck dinners and parties with friends. It makes a nice breakfast pastry or—with a scoop of ice cream—a lovely dessert.—Norma Foster, Compton, Illinois

I made this and I loved it. The first one I didn't fill as much, so I had extra filling in the second. It was a lot of work but well worth it.

I make this every summer when our apple orchard is bursting full of apples! It is by far the BEST apple sweetbread I have ever tried!

This is the best apple sweet bread I have ever made! I like to make it in the summer when our apple trees are loaded with the fresh, sweet fruit!

Very very good. I must admitt though that I didn't follow the recipe to a "T". In the dough I added about a tablespoon of fresh orange peel, and for the glaze I added about a tsp of fresh orange peel to go with the fresh squeezed juice that goes into it. I also used the bread machine on the dough cycle and baked the same day with awesome results. This one is a winner!
