Apple Wheat Bread (Bread Machine)

Stepher K's Note:

Light but hearty bread machine recipe with apples and nice spices. Found this on another web site and it was credited as originally coming from The Ultimate Bread Machine Cookbook. I added more yeast and slightly more apples. The crust is a bit crunchy, which I like.
