Double Apple-Walnut Bread
 | 1 cup smooth unsweetened applesauce |
| 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling |
| 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar |
| 2 large eggs |
| 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil |
| 1/4 cup plain yogurt |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 2 cups flour |
| 1 teaspoon baking powder |
| 1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
| 3/4 teaspoon salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
| 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
| 1 cup peeled, cored, and finely diced apple |
| 1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
2. Combine the applesauce, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whisk well to blend.
3. In another large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Make a well in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon and pour in the applesauce mixture. Stir just enough to combine; do not overmix. Fold in the apples and walnuts.
4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon. Evenly sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar over the top. Bake on the center oven rack until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 50 to 55 minutes.
5. Remove the pan from the oven and put it on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes, then remove the loaf from the pan and place it on the rack to finish cooling. Makes 10 servings.
****I use Vanilla Yogurt and I didn't have walnuts, but it taste great either way. Also as a variation try it with Chocolate chips, yummy! They make great muffins too.

Cornbread!
This goes with everything!! We like it with our Salsa Pork and our Chili especially.
2 cups bisquick
1 cup sugar
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cubes of butter melted
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a medium or large bowl.
Mix all the wet ingredients together and then add to the dry ingredients. Pour into a greased 9x13 and bake @ 350 for 30 mins. I wait until most of the top has turned a light golden brown and a knife come out clean.
It taste a lot like yellow cake, so enjoy!!
