Yummy Applesauce Bread

Any changes means it is not a true review, my 4 * is for this basic starter recipe. My changes are based on family likes and experience baking. Changes for 2 loaf recipe: 1 C white sugar, 1 C brown, not 2 2/3 brown. 1/2 apple fine chopped. 1 C water, not 1/2, it needs the moisture. 1 tsp white vinegar, not 3 Tbs cider. 1 tsp vanilla. 1 Egg. 2 Tbs apple brandy. Results: Still plenty sweet. Do not add more cinnamon. Between a cake and a bread, good structure and tender crumb. Lasting flavor of apple and cinnamon remaining on the tongue with a slight hint of nutmeg vapor filling the olfactory senses. The sort of snack you desire while gazing out the window of a deep woods cabin on a snowy day. It does make a hearty loaf, each weighing 2 pounds 10 ounces.

Probably error on my part- but center sank in.

Fantastic taste and chew! Like others, I omitted the oil for all applesauce, and added dried cranberries reconstituted in Cointreau, and a handful of dark chocolate chips. Best bread I’ve made on this app so far!

Wow! I was really impressed with this recipe. Last night our next door neighbors gave us a big bag of apples. They were past the cruncy, eating stage so I cut them all up and canned applesauce. A whole bunch. Then I decided this morning to use some of the applesauce to make this applesauce bread. Toasting those walnuts first (no pecans in our cupboard) really made a really made a big difference! It was delicious. I liked that it doesn't include eggs: 1. because I have slightly high cholesterol and 2. because during this time of Covid-19, eggs seem to disappear faster from the stores). I had just the right amount of brown sugar in the cupboard, but it was a solid rock, so I put a slice of apple in the bag with the br. sugar, microwaved for 30 seconds and voila! Perfect brown sugar. Anyway, thank you for this recipe! My family loved it. I doubled it and made two, one to freeze or share. That's a sprinkle of powdered sugar over the top just to be pretty.

I made this today! I used whole wheat flour instead of white. Just because I had whole wheat i needed to use up. I also used toasted slivered almonds, added raisins, omitted the vinegar (only because I was out of it) and added an egg. I made them into muffins and they turned out beautifully. A sample taste let me know they are yummy! I can hardly wait to have one for breakfast with my coffee tomorrow.
