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.

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. Yield: 1 large loaf.

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