(Only Problem...it did Not state the size of the Loaf-Pan...Guessing maybe a standard or 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches)???

I have two sizes of bread or loaf pans - 8-1/2 X 4-1/2 inches (holds 6 cups) and 9 X 5 inches (holds 8 cups).

I found the capacity for those two types of pans from the website Joy of Baking.

In this case, if I had a choice, I would use a 9 X 5 pan. The ingredients when added up come very close to 6 cups. Plus there's a topping.

I always use my 9 X 5 pan if there are a lot of add-ins or I wonder if the recipe will fit.

That's just my take on it. It could be that either size pan will work.

Hi peachesncream...Thank You so much for the info on the loaf-pan size to use. I will try the 9 X 5 Loaf-pan.

Hi

Just wanted to let you know that I made this Apple Bread

It is so easy to make.

I was wondering how it would be with some nuts in it and

my dear husband said IT IS GOOD JUST LIKE IT IS ~ so guess

I better leave it alone.

Will make this again ~ again ~ and again.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi dex...You could start with Cutting no more than a quarter of the sugar. When cutting back on sugar in baking, since sugar does more than sweeten foods. It provides bulk and texture, helps baked goods brown and keeps them fresh longer. Baked goods made with less sugar or with sugar substitutes can be dense and rubbery and may not brown. Hope this helps!
