You and your family will really enjoy this applesauce bread. The addition of applesauce makes this bread super moist. I enjoy eating my slices with fresh butter and a cup of coffee. How will you eat yours?
Check out what my pals over at Group Recipes had to say about this:
I am lucky enough to be blessed with a small farm in VA, with pastures for horses and cattle some hogs, chickens and turkeys, garden plots for veggies and seasonal fruit trees, I open this up in the summer and fall and sell the fruit and produce and brown eggs on the weekends so in the fall I get to harvest pumpkins and gourds and 5 varieties of apples from this I make fresh apple sauce and apple and pumpkin butters to sell, I also start baking in an outdoor wood fired oven making sweet breads for sale this is my Applesauce Pumpkin bread the scent of cloves, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg will fill your house with the smell of fall you will fall in love with this recipe I will sell on the average 60 loafs of just this variety in 1 and ½ days I am sure your family will devour this bread in as little time wait 10 to 15 min after pulling from the oven and cut a thick slice and spread it with some fresh creamy butter and homemade jam, jelly or fruit butter.
Some of the best recipes come from vintage cookbooks. I enjoy thumbing through Betty Crocker cookbooks from the 50s and 60s. The pictures alone are a gas to look at. All the ladies are dressed in what appears to be their Sunday best and pearls. I honestly wish I would have been alive during that time era.
