2 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. allspice
2/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. Grape Nuts
1 c. apples (peeled & chopped fine)
1/2 c. chopped nuts
2 beaten eggs
2/3 c. milk
2 tbsp. molasses
1/4 c. shortening (melted & cooled)

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and spices into a bowl. Stir in brown sugar, cereal, apples and nuts. Combine eggs, milk, molasses and shortening. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, blend just until all flour is dampened. Pour into a well-greased 8 x 4 x 3 inch loaf pan. Bake in a moderate oven at 350 degrees for 60 to 65 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; then turn out on rack. When bread is cool, wrap in waxed paper, transparent wrap, or aluminum foil. For best slicing and mellowing of flavors, store overnight before serving. Can be frozen.
