Applesauce Bread Recipe

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare:

   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

   • Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together applesauce, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients:

   • In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

4. Combine Wet & Dry:

   • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined (do not overmix).

5. Bake:

   • Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

   • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool & Serve:

   • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

   • Slice once completely cooled.

Tips:

• For extra texture, add ½ cup chopped nuts or raisins.

• Substitute brown sugar for a deeper flavor.

• Brush with melted butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for a sweet crust.
