Equipment

Ingredients

1 ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
3 tablespoon milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease one 9x5-inch loaf pan or five mini loaf pans, or line with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and milk until combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan(s). Bake for 25-30 minutes for mini loaves or 55-60 minutes for one large loaf, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Storage: Store cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Freezing: Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing for up to 3 months.
Yield: Makes one 9x5-inch loaf or five mini loaves.
Muffins: Divide the batter evenly among a muffin pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Don't Overmix: Stir the batter just until the dry ingredients are incorporated to keep the bread soft and tender.
