My bread didn’t come up at all, it’s thick. Was wondering while I’ll put in all the ingredients why this recipe isn’t call for baking soda… (usually if an acidic like applesauce is in the recipe you have to use baking powder and baking soda as well). I’m very disappointed because it’s so bad!
Could it possibly be something on your end? As you can see from the comments and the photos this bread has no problem rising. The photos show how much this bread rises. It has one tablespoon of baking powder and we have never had an issue. Not all recipes work for everyone, sorry this one didnt work for you.
Can I use cinnamon applesauce? I have plenty of the cinnamon applesauce cups?
Sure!
Made this bread this morning…oh my so good! Added pacans, as anything sweet needs pacans…Ummm
Is this for two loaves or just one?
It makes one loaf but you could easily make two smaller loaves and lessen the cooking time.
So looking forward to trying the Applesauce recipes. Have looked and tried several but didn’t especially care for them. So going to try these. Love your comments and encouragement. Goes a long way when you’re in your 80’s.
Oh my I’m so happy I found this, all my favorite flavors. I added 1/4 dried cherries along with the raisins, plus 1/2 cup cinnamon chips since there’s never too much cinnamon flavor for me. Wow! Fantastic, thank you!
I was wondering if you could drizzle icing over the top of this bread once out of the oven? Due to allergies, nuts wouldn’t be added, so I thought something sweet on top would be nice.
I think you could definitely do that and it would be delicious. Enjoy!
Making this for a friend who’s on the way home from the hospital today, will be a nice treat any time of the day!
We love applesauce (anything) … might try adding some dried cranberries since my hubby doesn’t do nuts in his bread… FYI.. I love nuts thats why I married him… lol
I love nuts, too Becky! Glad you got a good one to marry! lol.
Since we have an apple orchard, I do make applesauce. I like your recipe as it calls for a lot of cinnamon…I’ll give it a try.
