How to Make Applesauce Cherry Loaf Kit Hansen S

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen cherries (pitted).
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 60 minutes.
  7. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
