Amish Friendship Bread

Making the bread:
1 cup oil
3 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/2 t. vanilla

Additional note: I used applesauce instead of sugar
2 t. cinnamon (Reserve 1 1/2 t. cinnamon for dusting)
2 cups flour
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda

Keep one for yourself. Give to 3-4 friends with a copy of this recipe.

Toni Fox passed this on to me when Daniel and Mindy were in middle school. Throughout the years I forgot about it until it surfaced again from Beekeeper friends Renee Warren and Charlene Potter. Enjoy! (p.s. I passed one back to Toni Fox)

Other notes: I substituted applesauce for the sugar when I made the bread. Also, I used a cup of pecans since I love nuts.
