Apple Bread

3 cups flour

1 ½ tsp. baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

3 cups peeled, thinly sliced apples

2 cups sugar

3 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1 ½ cups oil

Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. Cream the sugar and oil. Add vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beat well. Add dry ingredients alternately with the apples.

Spray loaf pans with non-stick spray and sprinkle with sugar. Pour batter into pans about half full and cook at 325 for 1 ½ hours for full-size loaf pans, about 45 minutes for mini loaf pans.
