This applesauce bread is a quick and easy bread, just like zucchini squash banana bread. But the fruit puree here is applesauce!

• Vanilla: A good dose of vanilla gives it a creamy taste.

• Use Flax Eggs! A flaxseed egg is simply ground flaxseed mixed with water. When set, it forms a gel-like substance that you can use in vegan baked goods like muffins, cookies, and quick breads. We’ve found it works well, like in our Vegan Banana Bread and Vegan Zucchini Bread. It changes the texture a bit, but it’s still delicious.

• How long does applesauce bread keep at room temperature? 4 to 5 days, covered with aluminum foil.
