How to Make Applesauce Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the applesauce until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, wheat germ, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the dried fruit and nuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
