3/4 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups fresh apples, peeled and cubed

3/4 cup walnuts, chopped

Shaved walnuts for top

Glaze:

1/2 to 1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons orange or lemon juice

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Pour into greased two loaf pans. Bake at 350F for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Before removing from oven, drizzle combined glaze ingredients over loaf.

Helpful hint:
Substitute 1/2 cup egg beaters or 3 large egg whites for the 3 eggs. To reduce fat, substitute 1/2 cup applesauce for 1/2 cup of vegetable oil.
