Apple Bread

Once again, I have a bunch of apples that I need to use. This time it was a bag of Mutsu apples.....and this recipe only used 2 of them!   This is a good, sweet bread.

APPLE BREAD

Makes 2 Loaves = 16 Slices

1 Slice = 4 PointsPlus™

OR

1 Slice = 2 PointsPlus™**

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 fat-free egg substitute
2 cups Splenda granulated
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups diced apples (I used mutsu because that's what I had)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
OPTIONAL: 1 cup chopped nuts (I did NOT use)

Preheat oven to 300º. Lightly spray 2 loaf pans.

In a large bowl, combine canola oil, applesauce, egg substitute, Splenda & vanilla. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add to wet ingredients.

Add apples (and nuts if you decide to use them).

Divide equally between the 2 loaf pans. Bake for 1 1/2 hours (yes, 90 minutes).

Cool 10 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a plate.

MY SPIN: Of course, I use a heaping tsp of cinnamon. Now to explain the P+ values. If you use 1/2 cup canola oil and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, the P+ value per slice is 4P+. If you use 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce and NO canola oil, the value per slice is 2P+. Also.......don't forget to figure up the P+ values if your choose to add nuts.

 

Now for the 'legal mumbo-jumbo' to keep me out of court!!   *** The PointsPlus™ value for this recipe was calculated by me (Jan Gomes) and is not an endorsement or approval of this recipe by Weight Watchers International, Inc., the owner of the PointsPlus™ registered trademark. ***
