Recipe

2 cups sugar 1 cup canola oil 4 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 1/4 cup sour milk (add 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to fresh milk) 1 teaspoon soda 4 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 cups chopped apples 1 cup walnuts (optional)

Mix together all ingredients. Divide batter between 2 greased loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees (at times I have to bake the loaves for 10 or 15 minutes more until they feel set when tapped).

Note: Batter will be stiff.
