Whole Wheat Apple Bread

I look forward to making this bread every fall when I have apples on hand.  The recipe comes from a Penzeys Spices catalog that I found, probably connected to my sister-in-law Carrie, who was given a Penzeys gift package for her wedding.  I saw the recipe, which was submitted by Ruth Weber of Rice Lake, Wisconsin and decided that I would try it and have been super pleased every time.  I’ll have to purchase something from Penzeys so that I can get their catalogue to keep the recipes coming!
