Unsweetened Purpose Applesauce Bread

Unsweetened Purpose Applesauce Bread

Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened applesauce 2 cups all purpose flour
¼ cup butter or margarine, melted ½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup liquid honey 2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs ½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup raisins ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg

Directions:
Whisk applesauce, butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla in medium bowl until well blended; stir in
raisins. Thoroughly mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large
bowl. Pour liquid mixture over dry ingredients and fold in just until combined; do not
overmix. Spoon batter into sprayed or greased pan, smoothing it on top. Bake 50 minutes at
350º. Test with toothpick. Cool on rack before slicing. I sometimes reduce the amount of
raisins and add chopped nuts. This bread is very good when sliced and toasted. I make my
own unsweetened applesauce for this recipe: Warm peeled and chopped apples over medium
high heat in a saucepan until softened. Mash with potato masher, leaving them a little chunky.
