This is my favorite recipe for apple bread. It works well with fresh apples or with frozen apples.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup canola oil
• 4 eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 cup sour milk (add 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to fresh milk)
• 1 tsp. soda
• 4 cups flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4 cups chopped apples
• 1 cup walnuts (optional)

Directions

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.
