Personal Notes:
I remember Mom pouring wine over the loaves while they were still warm so I don't know if the wine is included in the recipe as a "juice" and added with the apples or if the 1/3 c. is for pouring over afterward. If you think you need more liquid in the batter, then use some wine there and pour some over afterwards!!!
