Finally I am going to get this post up! For how incredibly easy this recipe is, you'd think I'd have posted it already!
I got this recipe from my sister--back in "apple-sauce season" I wanted something productive to do with apples instead of applesauce! (Although looking back, and being more than half-way done all the applesauce I made, something productive would have been making EVEN MORE applesauce!)
So. . .grating apples. . .
Mix that with applesauce/oil, egg, and sugar. In another bowl combine the rest of the ingredients. Add the "wet" stuff to the "dry" stuff. Stir until just moistened. Fold in nuts now if you are going to add any. Pour in a pan. . .Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes.
There you go. Yummy bread all the time. I make these into muffins, little loafs or regular sized loafs--whatever works. The other thing I love about this recipe, is that it is so-o-o forgiving and still works out! If you don't have nutmeg, add a little more cinnamon. Use whole-wheat flour instead. Use all chunky applesauce instead of shredded apple. Add a little extra apple if you like it super apple-ish-y.
Some things I have learned. . .let the loaf cool completely before slicing or moving into plastic to freeze or store. Its better to even wait a day. That is why the little muffins or little loafs work better if you want to eat right away--which you will!!! And make two at a time. . .in our house this disappears VERY quickly!

(Although looking back, and being more than half-way done all the applesauce I made, something productive would have been making EVEN MORE applesauce!)This was originally a Zucchini Bread recipe with an apple variation.
1.5 c. flour
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 egg, beaten
1 c. sugar
1 c. shredded unpeeled zucchini
1/4 c. cooking oil
1/2 c, chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
The apple variation of the recipe says to replace the zucchini with 1.5 c. shredded peeled apple. My sister's great advice is to also substitute the cooking oil for applesauce (Which many people do things like that anyway).

Sounds great, I think I will try them as muffins ! Thanks for sharing !
I just love a good apple loaf. I like your idea of grating the apples. Sounds like it would really help in dispersing the apple-y flavor throughout the whole loaf. I have a new linky on my blog called "Sweets for a Saturday" and I'd like to invite you to stop by this weekend and link this up.
