Apple Bread

In my ongoing quest to find a use for the 5 pounds of apples that my mother in law has gifted me, I was desperate to find something to make with apples that was not a pie. I found this recipe for Apple Bread on All Recipes by Jennifer. This bread was pretty good, but I would bake it less (start at 40 minutes) and I did make some changes based on some user suggestions: I added 2 Tsp of vegetable oil, I used half brown and half white sugar and I used pumkin pie spice instead of cloves. Another user suggested a glaze of 1 C powdered sugar and 2 Tspn. Half and Half. I did not try this, but will next time.
