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

Instructions

  • 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.
