Crunchy Apple Bread
Here on our farm where we raise shorthorn cattle, I enjoy baking for my husband of over 40 years, our children and grandkids. And at the holidays, I make plenty of loaves of apple bread to share with friends.

This was SO delicious! I made a few modifications (mostly based on what I had on hand) and it still turned out great. I don't have solid shortening, so I used 1/3 C oil; 1/3 cup melted butter. I omitted raisins and added more chopped apples instead. I sub 1/2 cup of white whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of the regular flour. Added 1 tsp cinnamon to the batter for flavor. I didn't have OJ on hand, so I juiced a fresh organic orange for the 1/4 cup of juice and I added the grated zest of the orange to the batter as well for even more punch. I had walnuts not pecans so I used those. This was quick and easy, and made the house smell wonderful! Thank you !!!
Love this apple bread! I'll be making it for the third time today. Great for hungry teenagers!
