Applesauce Nut Bread

Applesauce keeps this quick bread incredibly moist without loading it up with butter.

Nutmeg adds warming spice that complements the fruit while chopped nuts provide satisfying crunch in every slice.

Baking soda and baking powder work together for reliable rise and tender crumb that slices beautifully once cooled.

Chef Tips

• Don’t overmix: Stir just until flour disappears to avoid tough, dense bread
• Nut options: Walnuts or pecans both shine here; toast them first for deeper flavor
• Cool completely: Let bread rest in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack before slicing
