AppleSauce Bread, lighter version!

I saw this recipe and made it. It was very good but when I aded to my food diary I was like ughh, no way! SO, I created a lighter version and it was terrific! This makes one nice loaf or 2 small ones. 10 servings for the entire recipe. I also sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top before putting it in the oven.

In a large bowl, first blend together the butter, egg, & sugar.

Then add the flour, baking soda, spices, & salt.

After it starts to from a crumbly dough, pour in the applesauce and mix together.


I used two small loaf pans, pouring mixture evenly into both. 

I sprayed my pans with cooking spray first or you could use parchment paper, depending on the dish you choose to bake them in.




Bake at 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes 2 pans and up to 60 minutes if using one pan. Knife inserted will be clean when done.
