  1. For a somewhat more healthy version, substitute applesauce for oil and greek yogurt for sour cream. This turned out great!
     
  2. Amazing taste with all the spices. Didn't have apricot preserves so I used strawberry and it worked out great -- moist and delicious. Now I'm not as upset about the prolific production of my one squash plant.
     
  3. Very moist and delicious. I had previously made zucchini bread, but never squash bread ... and I'm glad to have a recipe for it now for extra squash from the garden. I might add raisins or nuts to the recipe next time. Also, I only baked it for 55 minutes. A keeper.
     
  4. Great moist and flavorful bread. I love to make my breads in coffee cans and I think I will try this one in one of them next time. This is a keeper for sure.
     
  5. I love this. Very flavourful and moist. It's the first time I've ever purchased apricot preserves (jam?); they really added a nice touch to the bread/cake. Next time I'll add nuts and/or blueberries just for a little something extra. Thank you for posting this.
