Apple Bacon Quick Bread

In thisgluten free apple bacon quick bread a little bacon goes a long way.  Instead of using yeast, quick breads gettheir rise from baking powder or baking soda which eliminates the need for thedough to rise before baking.  That makesthe bread making process a whole lot quicker ergo the namequick bread.  The end result is a bread with a hint of sweetness from the apples and onions and flecksof salty smoky bacon to offset the sweetness. And the bread is not only great on its own; it also makes awesome sandwichesand French toast.  And you can change upthe stir-ins to suit your tastes.  Extra sharp grated cheddar is a nice addition to this particular recipe.  But things like olives, sun dried tomatoes, roasted garlic and prosciutto are some other good choices to customize the quick bread.
