Oh wow, this bread is awesome! I followed suit and added 1/3 a cup of applesauce and a full tablespoon of cinnamon. This bread came out moist and delicious - I've eaten three slices and it hasn't even cooled yet,lol Good and very easy to make.

This is a super quick & easy recipe that smells great while cooking. It came out VERY dense and a little bit dry. Next time, I'll take the suggetion to add applesauce to the wet ingredients. I upped the cinnamon to 1-1/4 tsp, next time I'll try about 2 tsp, to try to get an actual cinnamon taste. This bread does toast well, though. I will make it again and hope for slightly different results.

I followed the recipe, except for mixing some butter with margarine (I was simply running low on butter). I loved it! I love how it's dense... much different from the store bought raisin bread. I had to use my hands to mix the dough together. Quick and easy. Tastes the best simply toasted and buttered!

this SMELLED WONDERFUL while cooking, but came out very hard and dry, without much cinamon flavor.

It's good,family really liked it.We'll make again.

I followed the other's reviews and added 1/2 cup applesauce, used 2 - 1/2 cups flour and 2 tsp of cinnamon. I also reduced raisins to 3/4 cup and added 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. Plus I used 2 tsp of baking powder and it still rose to the point that it stuck to the top of the toaster oven. And burnt slightly. And made a mess for me to clean. Hm... a bit bland. I didn't like the texture much either. Maybe 1/2 cup applesauce was too much- perhaps I'll try 1/3 cup next time if I make this again.

This was pretty good. I made the first batch as stated and it was a bit bland but not bad. The second batch I made I added extra cinnamon, raisins and sugar. It was better but I like strong flavors. Still a great recipe and very versatile!

I made this for my friend and she loved it.. and so did her son! I loved this recipe, but perhaps next time, I'll go lighter on the baking powder.. (:

Good for a non yeast bread. Very easy. I sifted the dry ingredients, used 1/2 cup less flour, and added about 1/3 c applesauce and 2 tsp cinnamon as others suggested. I also used a duck egg which is richer and bigger than a chicken egg. I used 3/4 cup of evaporated milk (unsweetened) with 1/4 cup water because I didn't have fresh milk on hand. I baked 55 mins exactly. Its not crumbly, but dense and moist with a crunchy edge, reminds me of my favorite banana bread but cinnamon raisin instead. I will definately be making this again, my daughter (17 months) loves it. I just ate the end crust piece so fast I thought I might have put it down somewhere but I couldn't find it, must have inhaled it. Mmmm good! Well, for a quick bread ;) I still love my yeast breads.

Don't let the lower ratings fool you! This bread is excellent with the 1/2 cup of applesauce and 2 tsp. cinnamon added. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing it, Carol.

This bread turned out great with some changes. After reading the reviews, I eliminated the butter and added 3/4 cup of natural applesauce. I also added more raisins due to personal preference and 2 teaspoons of cinn. I baked for 55 mins and it turned out great.

Very good! I cut the flour to 2 1/2 cups and added 1/2 cup applesauce, and it turned out very nicely!

iam glad i read the reviews.i folllowed this recipe and did just as izofamily recommended to put 1/2 cup of applesauce in with the wet ingrediants and add extra cinnamon..this was very very good,simple and much faster than using a yeast based recipe.

Not very good. Tried what others suggested by adding applesauce, still came out very dry and crumbly. I wont make this again.

I made this recipe using the suggestion of adding 1/2 cup applesauce and 2 tsp. cinnamon. It was still dry and very crumbly. I think it could still use more cinnamon and a little more sugar. It's tasty but I won't make it again.

Smelled great so we were all excited but then we tasted it. It was sooooo dry. Maybe adding some vegetable oil or applesauce to it and increasing the bake time would make it more moist. Will not be using this recipe again.

This is an excellent recipe. My husband loved it. He cut a slice and put ice cream on top with hot fudge. He was in heaven. It's great with whipped cream cheese.
