A friend of mine surprised me with a loaf of this TASTY rhubarb bread. He and his wife have replaced the rhubarb with apples and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon as a recipe alternative. He brought in a couple slices to share and that too was excellent. I asked him for the recipe he handed me a print-out from the All Recipes.com website. Enjoy!
