(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup + 1 TBSP white sugar
1 cup applesauce
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
3 TBSP milk
1 1/2 cups chopped Diamond walnuts
1/4 cup Domino's dark brown sugar

Grease and flour two bread loaf pans--set aside. In a bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon--stir. In a separate bowl add applesauce, 1 cup white sugar, eggs, canola oil and milk--stir and beat until mixed. Pour the applesauce mixture into the flour mixture--stir until mixed. Add chopped walnuts--stir. Pour half of the batter into each of the loaf pans. In a bowl add the brown sugar and 1 TBSP white sugar--stir. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly on top of the batter in the loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Test with a toothpick for doneness. If the loafs get brown too quick while baking, cover them with foil for the last 20 minutes of baking.
