Does any one have a good recipe for fresh apple bread? My mom is looking for one as she had some at a shower and now wants to make some at home.

This is my favorite recipe for apple bread. It works well with fresh apples or with frozen apples.
Mix together all ingredients. Divide batter between 2 greased loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees (at times I have to bake the loaves for 10 or 15 minutes more until they feel set when tapped).
Note: Batter will be stiff.

This is one of my favorite breads.
Sift flour, baking powder, soda and salt into a bowl. Add nuts and mix well. Cream shortening and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add remaining ingredients. Stir just enough to blend; add apples. Spoon into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
