I make the apple one about once a week. I use honey instead of molasses. I like it because I can make it up very quickly and have delicious bread ready in under an hour.

I've made both the apple and peanut butter banana variations and we just absolutely adore this recipe. Tasty and moist. The peanut butter banana version was our favorite. My inlaws are visiting next weekend and they love cranberry so I'm going to make that version when there are here.
