Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Raisins

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, and vegetable oil until smooth and well blended.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the raisins and chopped dried apricots until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your nut-free classic nut bread. Enjoy!
