Applesauce Bread

Serve up a slice of this moist, flavorful, LOW FAT bread for breakfast, lunch, brunch, or a midafternoon snack. Anytime is a good time for this scrumptious goody; add a pat of butter and partner with a steamy cup of tea for some serious gratification. This recipe was featured on the Taste of Home web site.
