How To Make grandma's applesauce bread

Step 1Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 by 4 inch loaf pan. Put flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a mixer and beat on low just to combine.

Step 2Add the applesauce and egg. Mix briefly to combine but do not mix for more than a minute or so. Stir in the nuts by hand. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
