Applesauce Bread with Grated Apple

Applesauce Bread is a must have for fall.  When I lived near Apple Hill in California I would buy two bushels of apples every autumn.  It was so much fun canning apple butter, applesauce and apple slices.  Beautiful in their glass jars and delicious to eat.  Baking was my next priority and Applesauce Bread was right up there at the top of the list.  In this recipe I also added fresh apples that were grated in a food processor.  Very easy to eat anytime during the day so don’t shy away.  You need to bake this healthy bread.  It is easy and scrumptious.
