How to Make Apple Gingerbread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  5. Stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup raisins and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, drizzle with your favorite glaze (optional).
