Spiced Apple BreadOctober 23, 2008By chattmoc
"Have eaten a lot of apple bread from all over the southern part of the country and each feel theirs is the best. This spiced apple bread best that I as well as family and friends have ever tasted. In addition to pecans, also add english walnuts and plenty of apples. Been using no stick spray in pans but bread does stick. Have not used the wax paper in pans. Is there a greased wax paper or is it just store bought wax paper? As you can tell I am not a cook by any means but I can make the spiced apple bread."
