Karen Goodlad’s Favorite Apple Bread

I was introduced to this recipe as a teenager in a high school cooking class. To this day, I remember the joy I found baking and sharing this quintessential autumn treat. Over the years, the original paper recipe has grown tattered and stained, evidence of exactly how beloved this apple bread is to me. The marks show the clumsiness of a once novice baker, conversions when baking for a crowd, personal adaptations and, in more recent years, the tiny fingerprints of my children.
