Glazed Apple Bread Recipe

 Here we are in the middle of fall and the maples are turning color and the air is brisk with apples and pumpkins.  I am giving out my favorite old standby apple bread recipe.  It is good in the morning or evening.
  
                                                                           Glazed Apple Bread

1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup raisins
2 large apples finely chopped
1/2 cup walnuts chopped

Glaze;

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons melted butter

Combine oil , sugar, and vanilla.  Cream until light and fluffy.  Add eggs and beat well.  Sift together flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.  Add milk, raisins, and apples and nuts, and dry ingredients to mixture and stir only until flour is dampened.  Bake in well greased loaf pan 9x5 at 350 for 60 minutes.  Cool, remove from pan.  Combine glaze ingredients; mix well and pour over loaf.  Let glaze set before wrapping loaf tightly. 
This is so easy, you can make one for now and one to put in the freezer.  It is nice to have if company drops by for a visit.
