Ingredients

• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup applesauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9×5 inch loaf pans.

In a large bowl, stir together oil, applesauce, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together flour cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in apples and walnuts. Pour batter into prepared pans.
