This outrageous breakfast bread was introduced to Crystal when she was at her dear friend Amy’s home. It was one of those scenarios where you have room for only one piece, yet end up taking the loaf home! Amy told Crystal that her mom and her mom’s friend Janie made this recipe often when Amy was growing up. When they had passed, Amy inherited her mom’s recipe book, which included several copies of this recipe, in both her mom’s and Janie’s handwritings. Amy has taken to making it every holiday for her family and friends. Baking and sharing this delicious bread with the rest of the family is the ultimate way to honor their memories and their special friendship.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan with shortening and dust with flour.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, butter, and vanilla. In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups flour, the sugar, baking soda, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. The pan should be about half full. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
