I had a recipe handed down from an aunt. It was originally just butternut squash bread. I removed most of the oil in it. I added spice, apples, and applesauce. It is delicious. I made this into a whole new recipe. It is better than the original. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how good it is. Yummy cinnamon spice and apples are a wonderful addition to this bread.
