How to Make Apple Molasses Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup applesauce and ½ cup molasses.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the applesauce mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup raisins and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 60 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
