How to Make Applesauce Brandied Raisin Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Soak 1 cup raisins in 1/4 cup brandy for 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Mix well.
  5. Add the soaked raisins (with brandy) and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the applesauce mixture. Stir to combine.
  6. Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until the flour is moistened. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
