Applesauce Bread

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup applesauce
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Grease bottom only of 9*5 inch loaf pan with shortening. Set covered pot on base and preheat at Setting #4 while mixing ingredients.

In large mixing bowl combine all ingredients except nuts. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed until well blended. Stir in nuts. Pour batter into pan. Place pan in pot.

Cover and bake at Setting #4 for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Don not remove cover during this time. To test for doneness at end of recommended baking time, insert a metal cake tester in several places, including center. If cake tester comes out clean, then bread is done. If batter clings to tester, continue baking for 15 minutes intervals. Cook loaf in pan for 15 minutes, then remove and cool completely. Cool loaf in pan for 15 minutes, then remove and cool completely on rack before slicing. Makes 1 1/2 pound loaf.
