Delicious Apple Walnut Bread

This past Halloween weekend I had fun baking this yummy bread. The original recipe is from My Tasty Treasures. Other bloggers and reviewers had raved about it and now I am too! I'm a fan of apple and walnuts, so that was my choice of chopped nuts. It's one of the best homemade breads I've made.

Apple Bread recipe (yields 2 loaves)

Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup oil (I used canola oil. It's lighter, healthier and it won't override the taste of other ingredients.) Override is a computer term and not a cooking term but you get the point. =P
- 3 eggs (beaten)
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups apples (peeled and chopped)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (I used chopped walnuts cuz they taste awesome with apple.)

I used gala apples in this bread and it came out really sweet and good. How to choose the right apples for baking? Find out here! =)
