addition.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside. Combine
applesauce and molasses.

Add dry ingredients alternately with applesauce mixture to egg mixture.
Fold in raisins and nuts. Pour into a greased 9 1/4 x 5 1/4 x 2 3/4 inch
loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted
into the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan and
continue cooling on a wire rack.

NOTES:

* A simple, fragrant, apple-nut raisin bread — I found this recipe on the
back of a label for a baking loaf pan. It is easy to make and because of
the molasses it is very fragrant while baking. Servings: 1 large loaf.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 15 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking, 30 minutes cooling.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.
