Thunk! My mixer was a tad top heavy.
The topping is usually more crumbly, I oversoftened (is that a word?) the butter. Still good.
Apple Bread
1 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
4 eggs
4 T. milk
2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
4 c. flour
4 c. chopped apples
2 tsp. vanilla
Topping:
4 T. butter
6 T.sugar
6 T. flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
Cream butter, sugar & eggs. Add remaining ingredients. Mix & pour into 2 large greased loaf pans. Combine topping ingredients & sprinkle on loaves before baking. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes, then 300 degrees for 40+ minutes.
*I choose bread recipes that make two loaves, the oven is on for an hour anyway and it is nice to have a loaf in the freezer or to share with a friend.
I got this recipe from a school cookbook, the best part is that it was submitted by my Great Aunt Gertrude.
I've had a morning or two since baking the apple bread that I forget I have a protein shake for breakfast and I go right for the apple bread.

Looks awesome Tammy! I was just thinking about what I would make for Stamp Club on Thurs. night - I think I just figured that out! YUM!
I could eat that every single day. That has to be the best looking apple bread I've ever seen! I may get brave enough to try it. :)
So glad you are participating in our Need To Knead Bread Roundup.
How nice that you have your Great Aunt's recipe and that it was printed in a school cookbook too. Family heirloom recipes are just so awesome to have and make. :-)
October is National Apple Month by the way.
