Title: APPLE-MOLASSES BREAD
Categories: Quick bread, Usenet
Yield: 1 loaf

1/2 c Butter
1 c Sugar
3 Eggs
2 c Flour, all-purpose
1 t Baking powder
1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Cinnamon, ground
1/4 t Nutmeg, ground
1 c Applesauce
1/4 c Dark molasses (treacle)
1 c Raisins
1/2 c Nuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar
until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
addition.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside. Combine
applesauce and molasses.

Add dry ingredients alternately with applesauce mixture to egg mixture.
Fold in raisins and nuts. Pour into a greased 9 1/4 x 5 1/4 x 2 3/4 inch
loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted
into the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan and
continue cooling on a wire rack.

NOTES:

* A simple, fragrant, apple-nut raisin bread -- I found this recipe on the
back of a label for a baking loaf pan. It is easy to make and because of
the molasses it is very fragrant while baking. Yield: 1 large loaf.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 15 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking, 30 minutes cooling.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.
