100% would make again

Meals are even more memorable when I complement them with this light garden-fresh bread. The zucchini makes it so moist and tender...and the pineapple lends a delicate tropical twist to every delicious slice.

I use whatever amount the recipe calls for.  If it is 1 cup oil, then I use 1 cup applesauce.  The other day I made a pineapple upside cake for a friend and was told it was the best one they ever had.  When asked what I did, I told them I replaced the oil for applesauce.

I have used a recipe very similar to this and won purple ribbons at the county fair for 3 years in a row. The pineapple is a nice twist

Yes, you can use applesauce instead of oil. I always have done this on all my cake and bread recipes. They come out real moist and tasty.

Can you substitute APPLESAUCE in place of the OIL, as I try not to use too much oil.

Thank you.

This is so good. The pineapple makes it more like a cake than a bread.
