Apple Bread

Apple picking has become one of my family's favorite fall activities. Out to the orchard the rickety wagon takes us. We load up our 1/4 peck bags with as many apples as will fit, always ending up with one or two in our pockets. The sweet scent of fresh apples permeates the kitchen when they're brought home and tenderly placed in bowls and baskets.

But then a tiny fear creeps up...what are we going to do with all of these apples? In my search to answer that question, I came across an old, crude recipe for an apple quick bread. A little tweaking (I said tweaking, not twerking), and this recipe instantly became a favorite.
