Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add your flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together your oil, apple cider vinegar, applesauce, and water until combined.
Combine your wet and dry ingredients together. Fold through your raisins/nuts of choice. Transfer to the loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer comes out just clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
* Wholewheat flour is preferred, but white all purpose flour will work too. To make a gluten free applesauce bread, use gluten free flour.TO STORE: Leftover apple bread can be stored at room temperature in a sealable container. To keep the bread moist, cover with a paper towel on top, BEFORE covering it. It will keep well for up to 1 week. To keep longer, store in the refrigerator. TO FREEZE: Applesauce bread is freezer friendly, so store leftover slices by covering them in parchment paper and keeping them in ziplock bags. They freeze well for up to 6 months.
