I substituted all of the oil for 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce and it was FANTASTIC. This bread is moist and tasty.

This is a delicious bread--the only change I made was to use 1/2 c. brown sugar in place of 1/2 c. white sugar, and I left out the nuts but will add them next time. I will use this recipe as a nice change from zucchini bread.

Everyone loved this. I left the pear pieces a little on the large side & it made the bread a litle soggy the next day- next time I'll either cut the pears into smaller pieces or use less ripe pears.

This bread is EXCELLENT! I omitted the pecans and reduced the fat with applesauce. I was so impressed with the first loaf that I made three more today to freeze. Thanks for a wonderful fall recipe.

I baked this recipe in a bundt pan, and it is just good as in a loaf. It's a really nice brunch bread.

Delicious! I replaced half the oil with applesauce, half the white sugar with brown, and half the flour with whole wheat flour. I also doubled the vanilla.

This was a very tasty way to use up some extra pears from a friend's tree. I did not have to bake mine an hour - only about 45 minutes did it. Delicious!
