Ingredients
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1-1/2 cups warm water (110 ° to 115 °), divided
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 8 to 9 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups diced peeled apples
- 1-1/2 cups raisins

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine yeast, 1/2 cup water and sugar; set aside. In a large bowl, combine eggs, applesauce, honey, oil, salt and remaining water; mix well. Stir in yeast mixture. Gradually add enough flour to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

- Brush each loaf with egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 ° for 30-35 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped.
