Instructions: Mix 1/4 cup of the 1/2 cup sugar with the diced apples and allow to sit for about 20 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples and the sugar will make a syrup. This mixtures now becomes part of the wet ingredients.

Mix all dry ingredients together. Mix all wet ingredients together. Place dry and wet ingredients into your bread machine in the order the manufacturer suggests.

Note: If your machine has a designated time to add nuts and fruits, add raisins at that time. Note: The apples seem to work well, if dices are about the size of raisins. Slices of apples seem to stick to the sides of the baking container as they are kneaded. They dont incorporate into the dough. When baking the slices, they seem to all be on the edge of the bread and burn rapidly. Dicing seems to be the trick here. Use the fruit bread setting.
