Other suggestions and comments:
You can control the sweetness by which applesauce you choose: sweetened, or unsweetened. The recipe didn't specify, and I had a teeny bit less than 2 cups of sweetened applesauce left in a large plastic jar (the kids always want to open 'em, but never want to Finish 'em... ;-) If I am lacking only a spoonful or so of applesauce to measure up, I just add a little bit o' milk...seems to work...

This is a Not So Sweet bread, with added fiber that many fruit-type breads lack. I used an Economy-brand box of bran. The calorie count for a 1/2 inch slice lists at 162 calories, which is less than some!! 3 g. protein. Add a piece of fruit, and a glass of milk, and you are set.

Wrapped in a piece of paper towel, it re-warms nicely in the microwave, in about 30 seconds.
