APPLESAUCE-PECAN BREAD

    Applesauce-Pecan Bread

    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/2 cup chopped pecans
    1/2 cup dried cranberries
    1 egg, beaten
    1 cup applesauce, sweetened or unsweetened
    1/4 cup vegetable oil

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 x 3-inch loaf pan.

    Combine first seven ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in pecans and cranberries. Make a well in the center of mixture.

    Combine egg, applesauce and oil; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.

    Spoon mixture into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove bread from pan and let cool on a wire rack.

    Ingredient note: Orange-flavored dried cranberries, which are now available, are excellent in this recipe.

    Preparation note: To bake this recipe in a 10-inch tube pan, increase all ingredients, except salt, by one-half. For the egg, use 1 egg and 1 egg white. Bake 5-10 minutes longer, until bread tests done.

    Serves 12.
