February has been a busy month for me, and it has taken me quite by surprise that we are already almost at the end of the month. And the end of the month means Daring Bakers!

With those broad criteria, I chose to make this recipe for Applesauce Bread that I had bookmarked on the New York Times website. I included raisins instead of walnuts, and made this delicious concoction:
I highly recommend this quickbread recipe and would definitely make it again.
