After making it for Easter, my family asked me to make it once again for Mother’s Day. These sums are for the family, so they are significant. Because I had to peel more shrimp than usual, it took me longer to complete the recipe, but if you halve it, it won’t take you as long. This time I added crawfish as well. Oh, you must give it a try! Enjoy!
| Prep Time: | 20 mins |
| Cook Time: | 50 mins |
| Total Time: | 1 hr 10 mins |
| Servings: | 10 |
| Yield: | 1 to 1 – pound loaf |
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- ⅔ cup applesauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select cycle; press Start. Let the dough mix for 3 to 5 minutes, until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. If necessary, use a rubber spatula to push the dough from the sides of the bread pan. After 3 to 5 minutes have passed on the clock display, press Stop. Smooth out the top of the loaf with the rubber spatula. Select Bake setting and press Start.
- To test the bread for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center top. Remove the toothpick. If the bread is done, the toothpick will come out clean. If there is dough on the toothpick, reset the machine to Bake and continue an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Test again with toothpick to assure the bread is completely baked. Remove the pan from the machine but allow the bread to remain in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the bread and placing on a wire rack to cool.

Reviews
I read the reviews on this before I made it, and was fearful of it being to dry or heavy. This was not the case. Yes, it was a bit dense but that just made it more filling. You can’t exactly expect it to be fluffy without yeast. I actually added 1 cup of applesauce to mine, and slightly less cinnimon- with slightly more sugar. I also sprinkled a light layer of powedered sugar on top (which melted in the oven and gave it a sugar glaze- tasted and looked good). I didn’t use a breadmaker. i put it in the oven as another reviewer suggested at 350 for 50 minutes. My Fiance said it was “alright.. pretty good i guess”.. I loved it and will definetly make again.
The first time I made it, it was perfect…the second time, changing NOTHING but the size, it didn’t rise. At all. Not too sure what happened, but not especially happy with the results.
I have made this 3 times: 1st time – used Ultragrain WW flour and raw sugar, rest as written – I found it dry and somewhat lacking in flavor. 2nd time – used Ultragrain WW flour and raw sugar, increased applesauce to 2c, added 1 chopped peeled lrg apple, used 1-1/2t apple pie spice in place of cinnamon – very moist and DELICIOUS! LOVED IT and family wanted more, please. Would have had to store in fridge if it had lasted beyond 1 meal. 3rd time – is in the machine right now – used Ultragrain WW flour and raw sugar, increased applesauce to 1-1/2c, added 1 chopped peeled lrg apple, added 1/3c golden raisins, used 1-1/2t apple pie spice in place of cinnamon. I am thinking this will be the happy medium between #1 dryness & #2 moistness. 🙂 Since we have a mini orchard – I can make lots and freeze!
I followed the instructions and after 6 hours the bread still did not bake nor rise, i poured in pans and baked in oven then it worked but bye then it was dry. Very disappointed.
Very good! My kids liked it especially warm with a dab of butter and sprinkled very lightly with cinnamon/sugar. YUM!!!!
Total flop, outside was almost burnt and inside was raw.
I thought this bread was good but a little dry. I added chopped dates and a little vanilla to mine. My family liked it. I may make it again with a little more apple sauce to add more moisture.
MY KIDS LOVED THIS!!! HUBBY ALSO!
This bread was good. A little bland, but overall good. Thanks for sharing.
It wasn’t as sweet as I had hoped. I was expecting something like banana bread or pumpkin bread. I think next time I make it, I’ll add chocolate chips or something instead of extra sugar.
I sent this bread to work with my husband. I couldn’t keep up with the requests for the recipe! It was so moist and had a really great flavor. This one is a keeper!
This was a great recipe but I made some revisions to cut down the calories even further. Also, I do not like “sweet” breads and this is why I cut down the sugar. Note that my version is NOT SWEET AT ALL Also I used my oven since I do not own a bread machine… I used 250g flour, 1 egg, 1tsp baking powder, 1/2tsp baking soda, 3tbl sugar, 1 tbl oil, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 200g applesauce. The trick to not making it dense is to not over mix the dough. So first, combine all the dry ingredients except the sugar. Then combine all the wet ingredients plus the sugar (separately from the dry). Then sift the dry ingredients into the wet and FOLD in with a silicone spatula. Do NOT beat the mixture. Just mix so that the batter is still lumpy but all the flour looks incorporated. Then bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes and check with a tooth pick. If you follow these tips you will have a light, not dense, bread to enjoy! 🙂
My picky/skinny hubby loves these! I have made them twice in one weekend! The second time, I put the batter in a muffin pan.
I ended up having to bake this in the oven because apparently my bread machine doesn’t have this setting. It still turned out fine! The flavor left a lot to be desired. I thought it was pretty bland and needed something else. It wasn’t overly sweet. I’m not sure I will make this again unless the kids are asking for bread and I have no other ingredients in the house but these.
I love this recipe. The bread is a cross between a bread and a cake. I increased the apple sauce to 1 cup. I used one tsp of cinnamon and half a tsp of nutmeg which gave it a nice aroma and flavor. It is great for dessert with ice cream on top, fresh fruit or for bread pudding. I will make this again.
This bread is AWESOME & EASY! The trick to getting it more moist is more applesauce! The more applesauce you put in the better ( I use between 1-2 cups ), and it doesn’t ruin it. It just makes it really moist and gives it some extra great flavor. This is a winner with the whole family!
Excellent apple taste. I omitted the baking powder & baking soda, added 3/4 tsp of yeast, used Splenda instead of sugar & used 1 more tablespoon of applesauce in place of the vegetable oil, then put the bread machine on “Regular”, and let it do all the work. Excellent bread, will definately make again.
Way to dense. I’m not sure if it was because my bread machine doesn’t let me skip cycles or what. It tasted sorta okay, but still odd.
not a lot of flavor
Whether it was me or not, this completely didn’t turn out. It was a very dense dough and was horrible. Probably not going to try this one again.
Very good! I finely chopped two apples and added it to the mixture—so good and low fat!
