Recipe for "apple-bread"

NAME

     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)

     120 g     butter
     200 g     sugar
     3         eggs
     200 g     all-purpose flour
     5 ml      baking powder
     2.5 ml    salt
     2.5 ml    ground cinnamon
     1 ml      ground nutmeg
     250 ml    applesauce
     60 ml     dark molasses (treacle)
     150 g     raisins
     75 g      chopped nuts

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Preheat oven to 175 deg. C.
          (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 23x13x7 cm loaf pan.  Bake  at
               175  deg.  C  for  1  hour,  or  until a toothpick
               inserted into the center comes out clean.  Cool 10
               minutes, remove from pan and continue cooling on a
               wire rack.

RATING

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