Applesauce Bread


I know my husband is a big fan of appleasauce bread, so I found a recipe to surprise him with some bread to accompany our dinner. As my husband generally doesn't like nuts or extra stuff in his bread, I left out the pecans. Over dinner, I told him that I had left them out. Of course he replied, "That would have been a great addition to this bread!" How was I suppose to know? Anyway, it turned out great without the nuts, and I'm sure it would be great with them as well!

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups applesauce
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, sugar, oil, eggs and milk; beat well. Sift in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt; stir until smooth. Fold in the pecans. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
