I made a healthier and vegan friendly version by using whole wheat flour, raw sugar reduced to 1.5 cups, 2T ground flaxseed + 6T water substituted for eggs, instead of nuts I used 1 cup of raisins that had been soaked a few minutes in boiling water, sea salt instead of ionized salt, and 1/2 cup of organic applesauce in place of the oil. The dough seemed a bit dry, so I added a splash of soy milk. It was delicious!!

I made this just as it said and the batter was not getting moist enough, so I added 1/3 cup of natural yogurt and it was DELICIOUS. Will definitely make again.

This bread came out too dry like it needed more oil but other than that it was quite tasty!

Wow! That was good bread! I used applesauce instead of oil, and used 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar. It was excellent! Froze one loaf, and it still tasted great after defrosting! Next time I'll omit 1/4 cup of the brown sugar because it was plenty sweet. Thank You!

Once baked, this bread is very heavy and dense. The flavors are just not there. I will not make this bread again, there are too many other good bread recipes out there.

Really good overall but too sweet for me so I will decrease sugar( esp if following reviews with substituting applesauce since that may also sweeten it more). I got a nice moist cake by using 1/2 c applesauce and 1/3 c vegetable oil.

I added 3/4 cup of additional chopped apples... used sauce instead of oil... and no nuts (for company's sake)... baked in a 9x13" 'til toothpick came out clean and edges started to pull away(about 30-35 minutes)... YUMMY =)

Even though the bread fell apart, it was absolutely delicious! I have made it more than once and it has been gobbled right up!.

Made this for a family brunch and everyone raved about it. I always exchange applesauce for oil where possible, so I did do that. And I also followed Carolyn's suggestion of using brown sugar for some of the sugar. I also always leave out nuts because my family isn't fond of them. We also have young children in our family and I do not want to limit someone's food selection if they are allergic to nuts. Still giving it 5 starts even though I changed around some ingredients as I don't believe my changes deviated from the original recipe that much. On a second batch of bread, I did add more applesauce (around 1 cup) and that was great also.
