I am having a craving for some apple bread- something about fall makes me want it! Anyone have a good recipe?? Thanks in advance!
 
I haven't actually tried this recipe yet, but people are raving about it at 2Peas:

Yvonne's Done-to-death Apple Bread

oven 325, bakes in about 1 hour and 10 minutes

3 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon vanilla

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 cups chopped, pared, cored apples (about 3-4) (this puts to good use that darned apple/peeler/corer slicer thing you got at a Pampered Chef party years ago and never used!)
1 cup chopped pecans

topping:
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to slow 325. Grease and flour two 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pans (or I use those mini loaf pans)

2. Stir together the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla in medium sized bowl until well mixed.

3. Combine the flour, soda and cinnamon on piece of waxed paper, and then then stir into liquid ingredients until just evenly mixed. Stir in the apples and pecans. The mixture will be very thick and gloppy.

Divide between the loaf pans.

4: Prepare the topping: combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small cup, and sprinkle over the loaves.

5: Bake in preheated slow oven at 325 for 1 hour and 10 minutes, approximately. Check it carefully with a tester inserted in center comes out CLEAN. Make sure it's done. Sometimes in my oven they take longer than the time specified. Make sure they are done. Nothing worse than raw middle.

Let the breads cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edges of the pans. Remove the breads from the pans to wire racks to cool.

The breads are better the second day. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store at room temperature.

This is easy to make with ingredients always on hand. It's so good. People will beg you for the recipe. Then you will give it out, and it will appear at every single function you attend there after, and then you get sick of it. Don't hate me, I told you so.
 
Here's mine:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 t apple pie spice
1 t cinnamon
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 cups flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups peeled sliced apples
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Topping:
2/3 cup flour
4 T sugar
4 T brown sugar
1 t cinnamon
6 T butter

Mix the butter and sugar together and add eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, soda, spices and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Add the buttermilk. Fold in the apples and nuts. Pour into a greased loaf pan. For the topping, combine the first four ingredients; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter and bake on 350 for one hour or until bread tests done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing from pan.
