Hi @LilBitMissty!

Thanks for sharing another of you goodies! I have some unsweetened applesauce. For this recipe, would I use the same 1 cup of sugar or would I need to add more to compensate for it being unsweetene?

You all are very welcome for the post!

@Jannabelle...Hi dear. Let me know how it goes.

@vabreeze... Hi sweetie. It should be fine without adding extra sugar. My favorite is to eat it warm with butter. Let me know if you make it. Good to "see" you dear.

@LilBitMissty, I made this quick bread today and it's delicious! Both hubby and I really like it - very moist and just enough spices for a great flavor. Thanks for posting it!

@LilBitMissty Made your recipe 2 days ago and it was delicious. Very moist, very tasty. I know I used the right size loaf pan, but did have a problem with some of the batter overflowing. No big deal though. I just let the "drippings" bake and was able to wipe it off the oven floor. Thanks for posting.

If I may ask one question -- I always have a problem making toppings for these types of breads. Is the butter suppose to be melted (which I did) or softened and with the addition of the other ingredients, make a crumbly topping. Hope I explained that right.

@vabreeze I also used unsweetened applesauce and didn't add the full cup of sugar -- just a tad less than 1 cup. DH said it was sweet enough.

@coffee drinker, I'll reply if you don't mind since I have other recipes that have a crumble topping. Usually, you would use cold butter and mix it in with the other ingredients. That's what I did with this one, but honestly, I didn't think it really needed the topping since the bread has such a great flavor on its own. But - it did add an element of sweetness and crunch! The bread recipe is really good.

@Jannabelle... I am so glad you like it, I grew up with this and cantalpoe bread. I love them both.

@jannabelle1 Thank you for the instructions which I will try. And I agree, the bread was delicious.

@coffee drinker....So glad to hear you made this and more important that you liked it, Sorry about the mishap when baking it. You just use butter without melting it. When baking with buter or any cold item, I make sure it is at room temp. hope that helps.

@LilBitMissty Thank you so very much for writing the recipe for me. When I mentioned Cantaloupe Bread my husband said, "cantaloupe, in a bread." I will definitely make it later this year when the melon is in season. Right now they would taste like cardboard (IMO). And when I do, I will post back to you via this board. Thank you, again.
