I found this recipe in one of my children's magazines (recipe by Denise Super-Braith). It is simple and the only thing I changed was the sweetener. I added (half as much) honey instead of sugar. Because I made homemade applesauce this year (might make more), I had some in the freezer to use.
Applesauce Quick Bread
Mix liquids together in one bowl:
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1 cup sugar (I used 1/2 cup honey)
1/2 cup oil
Mix dry ingredients in another bowl:
2 1/2 cups flour (I used whole wheat)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/3 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine wet and dry ingredients together, mixing well. Bake in a greased and floured bread pan at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the bread cool, then slice when ready to serve.
(When I made this the first time, I actually didn't have the cinnamon, so I added the cloves along with some allspice and nutmeg. Still came out great!)
This would probably do great as cupcakes too, just adjust for less time and watch your oven.

I found this recipe simple and yummy to boot. As a substitute i used some strawberry-rhubarb sauce from the freezer. It was a good variation and added a nice color and tang to the flavor. Even the grandma liked it, not knowing it was vegan :) Thanks for the recipe
Happened upon your recipe looking for a use for large quantities of apples off of my apple tree and I love it! I always use sugar when I make applesauce, so I just halved the amount of sugar in the recipe and it turned out great.
Thanks!
This looks great! I made a whole bunch of spiced apple-plum sauce (http://www.mywholedeal.com/recipes/slow-cooker-spiced-apples/) that I need to use up. Here it goes...Thanks!!!
I made tho I used one tsp of cinn, no cloves, added 1/4 cup brown sugar. Topped with sugar and oatmeal. I baked for 30 mins at 350 and my son And I are eating them right now! Delicious!!!!
FYI: Vegans do not eat honey!!
Thank you for pointing this out. In response to the previous comment: "FYI: Vegans do not eat honey!!"...
Thank you for your comment. It gives me a chance to reiterate my stance on honey in general. In April 2008, I posted about how I use honey here: http://veganfootprints.blogspot.com/2008/04/my-food-philosophy-part-3a-little-on.html.
For quick reference, I quote a section of the post here:
"With that said, there are a couple of notes that I wish to add so you are “in the know”… I do use honey. Not all vegans do…I do…I use bee “products” like bee pollen, bee propolis, royal jelly, and honey. I don’t think the other bee products will come up in my recipes (if at all), however honey will. People can replace it with another liquid sweetener or replace with a dry sweetener."
Call me "Bee"gan if you must, but just as I have changed some recipes to include honey, you can also change it back to a dry or other liquid sweetener, if you like. As you see, I did leave that part of the recipe and just noted what I used, honey, in parenthesis only.
Thanks for reading! I have found so many things that I can use from non-vegan sites, that I hope you still find what I have here useful as well.
I made this today and replaced 1.5 cups flour with cornmeal. It turned out great and I now have a yummy loaf of applesauce cornbread :)
@Laura: I may have to try that! Sounds like a great idea. Especially since I have some extra cornmeal to use up! Thanks!
