APPLE-MOLASSES BREAD

     APPLE-BREAD - 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.

INGREDIENTS (1 large loaf)
     1/2 cup   butter
     1 cup     sugar
     3         eggs
     2 cups    all-purpose flour
     1 tsp     baking powder
     1/2 tsp   salt
     1/2 tsp   ground cinnamon
     1/4 tsp   ground nutmeg
     1 cup     applesauce
     1/4 cup   dark molasses (treacle)
     1 cup     raisins
     1/2 cup   chopped nuts

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.

          (2)  In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until
               light and fluffy.

          (3)  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
               addition.

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

          (5)  Add dry ingredients alternately with applesauce
               mixture to egg mixture.  Fold in raisins and nuts.

          (6)  Pour into a greased 9 1/4x5 1/4x2 3/4 inch loaf
               pan.  Bake at 350 deg. F for 1 hour, or until a
               toothpick inserted into the center comes out
               clean.  Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan and con-
               tinue cooling on a wire rack.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 15 minutes preparation, 1 hour bak-
     ing, 30 minutes cooling.  Precision: measure the
     ingredients.
