Spiced Apple Bread

Fall is coming and I am getting in the mood for fall food!! We are having our ladies book group from church tomorrow and the kids helped me make this for that occasion. They loved cracking the eggs in the batter.


The Menu:
Spiced Apple Bread


The Original Recipe:
I found this on my favorite website! I made it with the raisins and apples, but I didn't use nuts ( I didn't have any). It is really good bread! It falls apart on you since it has so many chunks of fruit in it, but it is still worth making.. Very flavorful!
