The original recipe called for applesauce, but I wanted to use up the apples, so I replaced part of the applesauce with grated apples. I think, next time, I would even use more grated apple. This recipe serves 16 and each slice is worth 4 points+.

Renee! I love this idea. Your bread looks incredible. My husband loves all sorts of breads. I'm going to ask him if he'd like to try this recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteSo neat that you started this.
Thank you for your birthday wishes. :)
Hi! My name is Suzanne and I'm really enjoying your site!
ReplyDeleteThis apple bread looks great--Im definitely thinking about this one for the upcoming Fall! Do you have any ideas on what to substitute all that canola oil with? I think that could really drop the points . Would love to hear your thoughts!
Hi Suzanne! Thank you for stopping by and commenting :) I don't really know what you could sub the canola oil with in this recipe. You could try increasing the unsweetened applesauce a bit and reducing the oil, but I still think you need a bit of fat to help make any baked good successful. You could also use all eggbeaters in place of the egg plus egg white to help reduce points or reduce the sugar or replace some of the sugar with sugar substitutes..but you would need to experiment to see if the changes would result in a good end product. I have found, that often reducing fat and/or sugar really doesn't affect the point+ values that much in the end...but if you try something, be sure to let me know how it all came out!
