Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (softened)
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp. salt

• 1/2 tsp. baking soda

Process

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
2. In a mixer bowl cream the butter, gradually adding the sugar, until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl combine all the dry ingredients.
4. Mix in half the dry mixture with the butter mixture. Then add in 1/2 cup of applesauce and combine. Repeat with remaining dry mixture and 1/2 cup of applesauce, mixing after each.
