Gene's Appleblossom "Bread" from Mom

Now we all know it's really a cake, but if we just call it a bread, then it automatically makes it much healthier and less caloric. :) And calling it a bread definitely doesn't mean that I can't put a custard sauce over it if I want to...

Mix 1 1/4 c oil (I'm sure a little applesauce substitution is fair game), 3 eggs, and 2 c sugar.

Sift (and we know what I think of that) together 3 c flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cloves, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg (and we know what mom thinks of that). Add to wet ingredients.

Add 3 c chopped, unpeeled apples (tart is good), 1 1/2 tsp soda dissolved in a little water, 1 tsp vanilla, and nuts if desired. Pour into 2 large loaf pans, greased and floured.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Mom notes that it can also be baked in a bundt pan, which will take a little more time. However, that may make it harder to pretend that it's a bread...
