How could I possibly go wrong with all these scrumptious ingredients? This bread is delightfully flavorful with great texture. The only change I may add next time is a bit more brown sugar (to personal taste) and perphaps some bits of chopped apple. Great recipe, Barb! I'll be making this again!

Great bread! Very moist, even on the second day after baking. Nice that you can put it on a timer for overnight baking, too - the kitchen smells so good when you wake up! When I made it I didn't have applesauce on hand, so I substituted 1/2 cup apple butter and cut the brown sugar to one tablespoon. Turned out great. Thanks, Barb!

This bread was good but it needs something. I toasted it with cinnamon sugar and a little butter spray and it was good. It also would be good on a pb & j. However, just to grab a slice and eat it, it tasted just like whole wheat bread. Not much other flavor.
