Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup honey
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan (or two smaller pans).
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger.
Cream Butter & Sweeteners: In another bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and honey until smooth.
Add Eggs & Applesauce: Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in applesauce until well combined.
Combine: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Bake: Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil in the last 20 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
Cool: Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For a softer crust, cover loosely with foil while cooling.
Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.
Add chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
