MOIST PUMPKIN SPICE BREAD



Moist Pumpkin Spice Bread image

This may be the most delicious pumpkin bread recipe I've ever baked. I came up with this for my brother's 18th birthday and it has been devoured in just two days. I believe the applesauce in the recipe is what makes it so ooey-gooey moist. It's also low in fat as the applesauce replaces the oil that would normally be used. The recipe makes two loaves, one of which can be frozen or given to a friend.

Tips for Making the Best Applesauce Pumpkin Spice Bread

* **Use fresh ingredients.** The best applesauce pumpkin spice bread is made with fresh applesauce and pumpkin puree. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use store-bought unsweetened applesauce and canned pumpkin puree. * **Don't overmix the batter.** Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. * **Grease and flour the loaf pan.** This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan. * **Bake the bread at the correct temperature.** The bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. * **Let the bread cool completely before slicing.** This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
