Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  2. Prepare a standard size loaf pan with either butter and flour or baking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and salt; set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine eggs and sugar with a wire whisk. Add oil, greek yogurt, applesauce, fig butter and vanilla extract; whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Stir in dry ingredients just until combined. Stir in grated apple.

Notes

This is a high altitude recipe adjusted for my kitchen which sits at just below 7000 feet. If you’re not adjusting for high altitude, increase sugar by 2 tablespoons and decrease oil to 3 tablespoons.
