By substituting applesauce for oil and cutting back on sugar, I lowered the fat and calories in this favorite bread recipe. For a different twist use dates, raisins, and/or prunes with the apricots. -CL Reader
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped dried apricots
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons grated orange rind
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
vegetable cooking spray
Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine juice and the next 3 ingredients in a bowl; stir well. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
2. Pour batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan; let cool on a wire rack.
