Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 c. vegetable or canola oil
  • 1/2 c. applesauce
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3 c. shredded apples (3 - 4 tart, crisp apples - peeled, cored, and shredded)
  • 1 c. chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar, oil, and applesauce.
    1 1/2 c. sugar, 1 c. vegetable or canola oil, 1/2 c. applesauce
  • Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
    3 eggs, 2 tsp. vanilla
  • In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix only until combined.
    3 c. all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • Stir in the shredded apples and nuts.
    3 c. shredded apples (3 - 4 tart, crisp apples - peeled, cored, and shredded), 1 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Grease two standard-sized bread pans and sprinkle the bottoms with flour or line with parchment paper.
  • Divide the batter between the two loaf pans and bake for 55 - 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the loaves to rest for about 10 minutes before removing them from the pans.
  • Partially cool and place into airtight bags or containers.
  • Because of its high moisture content, this bread will need to be refrigerated if stored for longer than two or three days.
  • This bread also freezes well, so you could freeze one loaf to keep it fresh.
  • Allow it to come back to room temperature before serving.

Notes

If you like more spices, feel free to add 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and cloves.  
Serve warm or cold. And, if desired, you could drizzle the top of the loaves with caramel glaze.
