Category: Quick Breads

2 1/2 cups packaged baking mix
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice
4 eggs, beaten
1 (21-oz.) can apple pie filling
1 cup applesauce
3/4 cup packed brown sugar (divided)
2/3 cup cooking oil
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour two loaf pans.

In a large bowl combine baking mix, flour, and apple pie spice. In another large bowl combine eggs, apple pie filling, apple sauce, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, and oil. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.

Top each loaf with remaining brown sugar and walnuts (if using). Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight for easier slicing. Makes 2 loaves
