Spiced Applesauce Quick Bread Recipe

A few years ago my mom gave me this recipe for Spiced Applesauce Quick Bread and I’ve been making it ever since. I typically like to make it in the fall, but you can make it all year long.

It’s a very moist bread thanks to the addition of the creamy applesauce. If desired, you can add-in a 1/4 cup of  your favorite chopped nuts or a 1/4 cup or raisins.  Heck, you could toss in both if you really wanted too!

Spiced Applesauce Quick Bread Recipe

1 1/4 cups creamy applesauce
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 medium eggs
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a bread loaf pan with oil or butter.

In a large mixing bowl beat together the creamy applesauce, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, medium eggs and milk. In a separate bowl sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt.

Pour flour and spice mixture into the wet ingredients bowl and stir everything together until well combined. I like to stir it by hand, but you can use an electric mixer on the low setting.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Place into a preheated 350 degree F oven and bake for approximately 45 to 50 minutes or until done. Remove and let cool on a wire rack. Once cool, store in an airtight container.

Note: I find that my quick or sweet breads will last longer if I place the container into the refrigerator instead of letting them sit out at room temperature. Just my 2 cents on that!
