How to Make Quick Moist Fruit Loaf

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup raisins with 1/4 cup warm water. Set aside for 30 minutes to plump.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
Add 1/2 cup chopped dried papaya, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and the soaked raisins (with their water) to the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven).
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
