A lovely, moist bread, delicately spiced. I used unsweetened applesauce (which is all I had on hand) and added about a quarter cup of brown sugar. I followed everything else exactly, with about a half cup of chopped pecans. Everyone loved this recipe.

A sweet, homey treat. I am not usually happy with loaves made with oil, so I substituted 1/2 cup of shortening and creamed it with the sugar before adding the wet and then dry ingredients. It is also good when you add 3/4 cup of raisins (soak in hot water for 15 minutes and then drain well). And I always add a struesel crumb mixture made from 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 cup soft butter. Cut all ingredients together until crumbly. Top loaves with about 1/4 inch of topping and press lightly.

This tasted very good. I would have given it a higher rating, but there seemed to be an ingredient (pecans) missing from the ingredient list.

Great bread! I used unsweetened applesauce, and only 1/2 c. of sugar and it was still sweet enough to please my kids! I substituted a cup of whole wheat flour for a cup of the all-purpose, increasing the spices by a bit. I baked it for the directed time (at 325 since I was using a glass pan) and it came out very moist and tasty! Thanks! **I make this recipe almost every week now for my kids to snack on and I think I've perfected it to suit their taste -- I add 3/4 c. chopped apples, 3/4 c. chopped pecans and I'm down to 1/3 c. of BROWN sugar. Super duper yummy**

I added in a grated apple and reduced the amount of applesauce. I also added a handful of dried cranberries. Try a slice toasted!

This was a yummy, easy to make quick bread. It will smell like heaven while baking--and it tastes great too. Not too sweet, great moist texture. For me, the recipe worked great as is. The baking temp and time worked like a charm. And I truly love these autumn spices (pumpkin bread is a favorite of mine) so I felt that the spice levels tasted great to me.

This was a good bread, but I found the nutmeg too strong, and I didn't put in allspice. 60 minutes at 350 left the outside burned and the inside just done, so I think I'll turn it down and cook it longer next time.

Very moist, but couldn't taste the applesauce. The amount of pecans to add are also missing, so I added 1/2c just to try.

THIS ONE"S A KEEPER! I am definitely a beginner when it comes to baking, but this was really easy! And it took very little time to prepare. I didn't have allspice, so I used a dash each of ginger and cloves, and used 3 eggwhites instead of two whole eggs. Also I used Motts chunky applesauce, so there are little apple chunks throughout. Next time I'll play with extract flavors or maybe chocolate chips...

Very good and simple to make. I added half a cup of raisins, and baked the loaf 55 minutes in a dark metal pan. My family asked me to make this again before the first loaf was gone!

Definitely way toooo long a cook time! It was over done after 35 minutes! I cooked it below 350 too. It's not my oven either. Cook this at 350 for 30 minutes or 325 for 40. The smell was great and it tastes great. Recipe says to pous into pan which is misleading for the batter is so thick it does not pour. It;s more like bread pudding it's so thick so it must be scooped into the pan. I had to use a 12x12" pan as well. The recipe is a bit off in some areas, but if you make the necessary adjustments it's a good recipe.

Loved it. So easy. I used (by accident) a whole egg plus an egg white instead of two whole eggs-I was worried but the result was a wonderful light-as-air bread with yummy apple flavor. Try to use unsweetened no sugar added natural apple sauce if possible. Awesome!

I used less than half the white sugar but added a brown sugar and cinnamon mixture in the middle (divide the batter in two) and as a topping. It was delicious and moist and beats grating apples!

Good flavor, though a tiny bit bland- maybe needed more sugar. I added a cup of chopped fresh apples, which added texture. The directions mentioned pecans, but they weren't listed in the ingredients, so I added 1/2 cup. My kids liked it!
