What kinds of ingredients do you normally use when making things like this apple bread? Do you prefer organic? I try to use organically sourced products when I can, but sometimes, that isn’t always possible. I find that if you soak your apples in a sink full of cider vinegar, lemon juice, and water the pesticides will clean right off. It’s better than just rinsing them or wiping with a paper towel.
I do enjoy using organic ingredients when I can find/afford them. However, don’t feel like you have to break the bank by buying these ingredients. Organic, unfortunately, is much more expensive than non-organic products. Like I said, I use them when the budget allows.

Quick Tip: If using a pan that tends to stick, grease with shortening and flour instead of just cooking spray.
