Tummy Happiness #3: Applesauce Bread with Lime Glaze



So I tried to make something similar to lemon drizzle cake and this is what I came up with. There are two types because I wasn't sure if I made the first loaf right so I added some stuff to the batter for the second loaf. I actually like the first batch (denser version) better because it is more like a coffee cake texture compared to the fluffy one which is...fluffy :) (and the fluffy one is more like normal cake but less sweet)

(makes two baby loaves or one mama loaf)

Ingredients for bread:

Dense, moist version-
1/3 cup apple sauce (I used already sweetened, but my bread turned out really sweet so unsweetened apple sauce might be even better)
3 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of baking powder
pinch of baking soda
sprinkle of salt
1 egg

Fluffy light version-
1/3 cup apple sauce
3 Tbsp. butter
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg

Lime Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
as much lime (or lemon or grapefruit or any other flavor) juice as needed to get the flavor
water (if you only have so much of the juice, I only had 2 limes so I needed some more liquid)

Baking it:
(set oven to 350 F)
I just mixed the apple sauce and softened butter first, and separately mixed the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt). Then I mixed these two mixtures together and added the egg at the end. I let it mix until it looked all combined. Then you can get out your pan (or two small loaf pans), butter the sides and put parchment paper on the bottom (or just butter the whole thing, or use shortening, I don't think it would make too much of a difference :) )  I baked each for 20-25 minutes at 350 F and then took them out and poked holes in the top with a toothpick. Pour your glaze over the whole loaf (or loaves), let them cool, and voila! some sort of cakey-bread stuff :D
