Apple Raisin Bread image

I've been making this bread for many years. It smells so good in the oven and tastes even better. I make bread almost every Saturday, and it doesn't stay around long with our sons home from college in the summer. -Perlene Hoekema, Lynden, Washington

Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. , Brush each loaf with egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped.
