    2          teaspoons  ground cinnamon
       1/2           cup  apple cider -- or juice

       1/2           cup  vegetable oil
    2              large  eggs -- lightly beaten
    1 3/4           cups  all-purpose flour

       1/4           cup  granulated sugar -- for toppping
       1/2           tsp  ground cinnamon -- for topping

Preheat oven to 350F.  Grease two 8 x 4" foil loaf pans.

Whisk the apple butter, cinnamon, cider, brown sugar, oil and eggs in 
a large bowl until smooth.

In a med bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.  Fold into 
the apple butter mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the 
apples, then divide the batter between the two prepared 
pans.  Combine the granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon in 
a sm bowl and sprinkle over the top of each loaf.

Bake for 45 - 50 min, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes 
out clean.  Pull from oven, cool on wire racks for 10 min then remove 
from the pan and cool on wire racks until ready to serve.

Makes 2 loaves 32 slices

NOTES : There is nothing that says Fall then the wonderful smell of 
this bread baking in the oven.  It should be called a triple apple 
bread becaue it uses apples in three ways: Apple butter and apple 
cider add loads of flavor and keep the bread nice and moist, and 
grated apples give it a little texture.

I like to use dark brown sugar because its higher molasses content 
imparts a rich hue to the loaves, but feel free to use golden or 
light brown sugar.

The final touch is a sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar before baking. 
Toasted chopped pecans or walnuts can be added along with grated 
apple for texture and taste.
