Apricot Carrot Bread

1 3/4 c All purpose flour

1 ts Baking powder

1/4 ts Baking soda

1/4 ts Salt

1/2 c Sugar

1/2 c Applesauce

1/2 c Carrots; shredded

2 tb Vegetable oil

1/3 c Dried apricots; cut

Into small bits 1/2 c Powdered sugar

2 ts Apple juice

Preheat oven to 350~. Spray an 8x4" loaf pan with cooking spray. In large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a medium size bowl combine beaten egg, sugar, apple sauce, carrots, and vegetable oil. Add all this at once to dry ingredients; stir just this once until just moistened (batter will be thick). Fold in apricots. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool. Wrap loaf and store overnight before slicing. POWDERED SUGAR ICING: In small bowl combine 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar and 2 tsp apple juice to make drizzling consistency.
