I would rate 4 stars as the recipe listed. If you follow the changes suggested by mommyfromseattle, 5 stars all the way!!!!

I read some reviews and I tweaked this recipe as well. I doubled the spices, used raisins instead of pecans, about 1 cup and instead of 2 cups white four used 1/2 cup white, 1/2 cup wheat. THIS IS AWESOME, and everyone else that tried it was just sad there was not more. This will definitley be one of my new fav recipes.

Was nice and moist, but very bland. i even doubled the cinnamon and added pumpkin pie spice. I didn't use nutmeg or allspice because I didn't have any on hand. Maybe this is the problem, but I don't thinkI will use this recipe again.

Agree - would rate this 5 stars except the spices need to be increased substantially. I used 1 tsp. of all the spices, and it's perfect in my opinion - nice spice flavour. I also did what another reviewer suggested (I usually do this anyway) - decrease the oil to 1/4 cup and increase the applesauce to 1/2 cup to compensate. It's perfectly moist this way and much less fat.

Really good. I didn't use pecans but could have, a crunch would be tasty too. I think the spices taste good, but could be upped if you really want a 'spiced' bread. I made three loaves, and froze two. Still tastes divine thawed from the freezer.

This is absolutely wonderful. It smells great and is really moist. I can store it for at least a week and it's still great! I usually don't put in the pecans because I like the smooth texture without them. It's quite dense but I like that!

I made thie recipe EXACTLY as written: Husband and I liked this bread. Howerver if you are looking for a kid friendly Applesauce bread, this is not the recipe. It is NOT sweet...........AT ALL. My kids ate one slice right out of the oven and that was it. The blueberry bread I made last week was a bigger hit. (5 members of the family I rate on how many people actually liked a dish.)

Wow! This is one fabulous applesauce bread! It's so moist and delicious, it's definitely one I'd make again. Plus it's a great way to use up the last of the applesauce. It's also a great base to "tweak" this to whatever you have on hand or whatever your tastebuds desire. I opted to use butter vs. veg. oil and creamed that will all brown sugar until nice and fluffy. I used chunky applesauce and added an additional chopped apple. The more apple flavor the better, right? I doubled the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg and added 1 heaping tsp. of vanilla. I left out the nuts as I didn't have any on hand. I topped this with some turbinado sugar before topping it into the oven to give it some added crunch and baked for a little over an hour. It smelled heavenly and tasted wonderful - perfect with a cup of tea!

This is fantastic! I had some homemade applesauce I wanted to use up and decided to try this recipe. I did make a few changes based on other reviews, I used only brown sugar, 1/4cup oil, 2 cups chopped apple and my own mixture of spices. I am sure that the recipe would have been wonderfull as written, but I prefer Brown sugar in this type of recipe to add a bit more dimention. Next time I will be making this with Splenda brown sugar blend to cut down the carbs.
