Having made my own applesauce for over
a decade, I've acquired several recipes where applesauce is a primary
ingredient, such as Vegan Whoopie Pies. This bread recipe one was
given to me a former neighbor whose eldest son was diagnosed with
dairy and egg allergies as an infant.

½ cup shortening
1 ½ cups sugar

½ teaspoon cloves
1 cup chopped raisins (optional)

In medium to large bowl cream
shortening and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add applesauce, then
sifted dry ingredients. Beat smooth and fold in raisins.
