for the recipe. I am telling you....once you make it,

it will be a favorite!

I fist received this recipe from a friend (Julie Davis) after I had tasted it. Since then I have changed it up a bit,however I still get rave reviews.

It is a simple dip to double, and you'll want to because then you might just be able to get a taste.

Applesauce Bread

Let me start off today by saying

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my hubby!

He is forever helping me "perfect"

many of my recipes by being my 

Taste Tester! Thank you honey for 

ALWAYS having my back!

Now lets get this "party" started off

with a simple and delicious 

Quick Bread.

I took this photo from the first batch I made

Then I added some fresh diced apple to

the batter. I think we liked it best with

the added apple pieces in it.

Applesauce Bread

1 1/2 C. Flour

3/4 C. Sugar

2 Eggs

1/4 C. Margarine~ melted

1/2 tsp. Nutmeg

1 tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 tsp. Salt

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

3/4 C. Applesauce

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

1 Granny Smith Apple~ Diced

Preheat oven to 350

Place the applesauce and soda together in a small bowl.

Next add remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Stir in the applesauce/soda. Then fold in apple pieces.

*if you are adding in the diced apple pieces

you will lightly toss them in 1 TBSP of flour

before adding it to the batter.

Pour into (2) lightly greased loaf pans.

I like to top mine with a streusel topping

however you don't have too. You can also just sprinkled

some Cinnamon/Sugar mixture on top.

Bake for 45-55 minutes.

This is a super moist bread.

Happy Baking,

Lark
