"This recipe for Apple Bread is from my wife’s late grandmother. It is a German cake that she would make and serve on the table as a centerpiece with a candle coming out of it on special occasions. She loved cooking for family dinners with everyone around the table, especially on the holidays. This recipe was always a favorite of ours and brings back fond memories of her."
