APPLE NUT BREAD FROM AUNT SIS

Yes, that's right - Aunt Sis! My dad was a toddler when his baby sister was born. He couldn't say Oweedah so he called her Sissy. She was known as Sis/Sissy until she left this world in her 80s.

Note: It is hard to find the coffee cans now days. You may have to search to find them.

3 1/2 cups flour

3 cups sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp soda 

4 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2/3 cup water

3 cups chopped apples

1 cup chopped nuts

Mix dry ingredients and liquids well. Add the chopped apples and mix well. Stir in the chopped nuts. Bake at 350 degrees in 3 - 1 lb greased and floured coffee cans for 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool. Remove from cans and wrap in plastic wrap or foil.

Note: Can substitute 2 cups or 1 can of pumpkin for the apples to make pumpkin bread.
