I brought this to one of our monthly meetings and it's a much loved loaf, to say the least! I find if you freeze, then press down through the loaf, you get better slices because the raisins don't tear the loaf.
- 1/2 butter
- 1 1/2 c. lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup apple sauce
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 t. powdered cloves
- 1 3/4 c. flour (210 grams)
- 1 c. raisins
Cream butter. Add sugar. Stir in egg.
Stir baking soda into applesauce. Add to butter/sugar/egg mixture.
Add spices to the flour. Mix, then add to applesauce mixture. Stir to lightly mix. Add raisins.
Turn into well greased 8" x 5" x 3" loaf pan (or muffin tin). Bake at 350f for 75 minutes.
