Original Recipe Yield 32 servings

Ingredients

3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, oil, applesauce and vanilla. Stir in sweet potatoes and orange peel; mix well. Combine the flour, sugars, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking powder; stir into sweet potato mixture just until combined. Stir in nuts.
Pour into two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
