WHOLE WHEAT PUMPKIN APPLESAUCE BREAD

This pumpkin applesauce bread is super light but feels so decadent, thanks to the streusel topping. It’s like dressing up a casual outfit with some killer shoes – just sends the whole thing over the top!

I have some killer shoes.

They are gathering dust in my closet.

Some of them are even stuffed under our bed, hidden and ashamed that they aren’t hitting the town anytime soon.

I have kids ages 4 and 2. I have a full-time work-at-home job and preschool pick-up at lunchtime. Between work and snacks, we color and curl up and read books and build towers and play tag. Then it’s time to clean up and get dinner ready.

I have no need for killer shoes at this point in my life. But I can’t possibly get rid of them.

• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
