My mom made this when I was growing up and it's still my favorite bread. It's slightly sweet but does not taste of apples. It's perfect for sandwiches or (my favorite) just eating toasted with butter! This recipe makes four loaves, but if you cut it in half, you can do all your mixing by machine. Otherwise, everything can be done by machine until it's time to add the white flour.
