Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate baking chips

Instructions

  • Cool in loaf pan about 20 minutes, then remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
