Used different ingredients. I didn't have apple sauce so I added an extra tablespoon of milk and 1/2 tablespoon of oil. I also substituted 1 cup of plain flour with a cup of wholemeal self raising. I thought the bran in the wholemeal flour would add flavour. Turned out perfect in 1 hour. I have made it twice this way and it is great. Going on 'CookingFor7' comments maybe the cup of self raising is useful - mine certainly turned out pretty light but without being crumbly. - 09 Jun 2009
Used different ingredients. Baked this yesterday. I used 1/2 c yoghurt instead of the 1/4 c applesauce like some of the old reviews said. Also read some reviews that said this bread was kind of bland so I added a little over a teaspoon of cinnamon. CAME OUT GREAT! Very moist! I was afraid it'd dry out since I had to leave it in the oven longer than expected since the middle was mushy, but it came out moist and perfect. Will definitely save this recipe and make it again. - 29 Sep 2008
