Just lovely. I made a few small changes - I only had regular applesauce, so I cut down on the sugar by 1/3 c., I subbed in 1 c. whole wheat flour for the all purpose, and since I did that, I upped the baking powder by 1/2 t. to compensate for the heavy whole wheat. Made 1 loaf and 8 gigantic muffins. It was delicious, moist, and healthful. What more can you want? Will certainly make it again!
