Apple Sauce Loaf I Made It

Apple Sauce Loaf

Recipe by Sheba: Apple Sauce Loaf/saved
I wanted to like this recipe so much. The batter was light and seemed full of air. It was easy malleable into the loaf pan. The flavor is just OK.

After an hour bake time there was still a sunken spot in the middle of the loaf and did not spring back when lightly pressed. Gave it another 10 minutes bake time. It still had the sunken spot but sprung back. Upon cooling and cutting, you can see by the picture, the loaf is baked all the way through with no dense or doughy spot in the middle.

I am concerned with all the shortening in the loaf. I can feel the lubrication on my lips, now, a full half hour after consuming a slice. I like the flavor better with a slice warmed. Not sure I would make this again even though I gave it 3 stars. This recipe drew me to it because of the use of applesauce.

I dont do a lot of baking, but I thought applesauce was used instead of oil/butter/shortening to avoid the fat???

That's is definitely a lot of shortening. I think that would kind of put me off the recipe.
Applesauce can be used in that way, MrP, but it also can be used as an ingredient as in this recipe.

That's the sort of the thing I SHOULD catch. Apparently I was having a grey moment.
