This delicious bread is made with butter and brown sugar to give it a rich buttery and warm molasses taste. The unsweetened applesauce in the recipe makes it super moist, soft, and tender. And then, of course, there is the cinnamon and spice which makes everything nice.

This is a perfect autumn/winter recipe: a feel good comfort food. I’ve been baking a lot more with cinnamon and other spices lately. I just love warm, cozy scent that fills the house while it is in the oven, especially during these below-zero-degree Celsius weather.

The dried fruit in this bread gives it a subtle chewy texture and naturally sweet taste, while the nuts give a nice crunchy contrast to the softness. I’m not being specific about the fruits and nuts because the recipe is quite versatile. You can use any type of add-ins you like, which makes it fun because the possibilities are endless and you will never get bored of this recipe.

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F and butter a 9×5″ baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
