Applesauce Bread

I originally found the recipe for this bread here.  I made a few adjustments, but either recipe is really good!

     Applesauce Bread

• 3 1/2 c whole wheat flour (I milled hard red)
• 2 1/2 t cinnamon
• 1 t baking powder
• 1 t baking soda (I use aluminum free)
• 1/2 t sea salt
• 1/2 t nutmeg
• 2/3 c honey (I use raw/local)
• 1 1/3 c applesauce
• 4 eggs
• 1 stick butter, melted

Mix dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, make a pit in center, add rest of ingredients, mix well, pour into a buttered bread pan. Bake at 350º for 45-55 min. or until toothpick comes out clean.

OR you can make this version, which is more applesauce(y) and has more cinnamon and no nutmeg:*

• 3 1/2 c whole wheat flour (I milled hard red)
• 1 T cinnamon
• 1 t baking powder
• 1 t baking soda (I use aluminum free)
• 1/2 t sea salt
• 2/3 c honey (I use raw/local)
• 2 2/3 c applesauce
• 2 eggs
• 1 stick butter, melted

This yields an even more moist loaf ;)
