Bread Day


In addition to the loaf of bread in the breadmaker this morning, I diced some apples and baked these two loaves of apple bread.  I used the first recipe that came up when I "googled" apple bread.

The scent is filling the house and making me wonder why I don't do this more often!  I plan to take one loaf with me when we go visit my parents later this afternoon.  The other I'll wrap tightly and put out on our cool porch to keep and serve next week when some of our children and grandchildren are here.

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst."  (John 6:35)

  2. I can almost smell it Rebecca. I think I like Pumpkin, zuchinni, banana, apple cranberry, or any type of sweet bread more than most overly sweet frosted cakes! Your apple bread looks delicious Rebecca!

  5. Diana, there are several recipes on internet for apple bread. I think this is actually the second one I've tried and they're both good.

  6. Bernie, I DID find my parents as good as can be expected. My mother had baked an "impossible" pie - that uses Bisquick & makes its own crust. So we ate the apple bread & impossible pie. WAY too much sugar. We also played a card game - "Sevens".

  7. Wanda, I agree - although now that you mention it I remember eating an apple cake with more of a sauce over it than frosting. Hmmmmm. Maybe I can find THAT recipe.

  8. I was here earlier and left a comment Rebecca, telling you how good the bread looked and that I like sweet breads almost more than overly sweet heavily frosted cakes, but I guess blogger preferred to keep my comment! Makes you wonder just what happens. Hope you had a nice visit with your parents!

    Luv and Smiles,
    Wanda

  9. As soon as I sent a second comment up popped the original :) The "apple cake" most likely had a brown sugar glaze on it, at least that's what I'm familiar with on the fresh apple cake recipes I've made!

  11. Hi Rebecca! I just spent time at your other blog ... Thrify Style at Sixty! Your blogs are great! One of my favorite recipes from my mother is her apple cake, which can be made into loaves... Now, after seeing this post, I must make one! I CAN smell it!
    Apples and walnuts are a favorite combination for me!

  13. I can imagine the wonderful aromas in your house this morning. I LOVE the smell of home-made bread and love the different kinds of bread--apple, pumpkin, banana, etc.

    Glad you were able to visit your parents; those are precious times.

  14. all I can say is yum - yum - yum! I have had to give up bread this past week because I have a food mold allergy, and looking at your photo makes me want to lick the screen. Your lucky I don't live close now that I know your bread will be on your porch. :-) I have been known to sleep walk.

  15. Rebecca...we have a bushel of Golden Delicious apples that we brought back from North Carolina. I think that apple bread would be a delicious way to use them.
    I love the song that is playing "Give Thanks"....I play it often...sing it often...and am reminded to give thanks to our Lord for all He has done and continues to do for us.
    Many smiles,
    Jackie
