My mom is on a fixed income and not only is she taking care of herself, she is also taking care of her 6 year old grandson (it's a don't ask, don't tell family situation). Lucky for her we live in a wonderful community with even more wonderful people who keep an eye out for each other. Mom gets the occasional meal, fresh fruits and vegetables and canned goods.
Today I want to write about her abundance of canned applesauce. No one in my family likes applesauce and even if you do appreciate it, there's only so much you can eat before you get bored with it.
I searched for a recipe that included ingredients I already had in my kitchen AND mom's surplus of canned applesauce. I found this recipe for Spiced Applesauce Bread and it was a huge hit!
