Grandma s Apple Bread

½ cup raisins

1 ⅓ cups unbleached flour

⅔ cup rye flour

⅓ cup white sugar

2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

¾ cup apple juice

1 egg

⅓ cup vegetable oil

½ cup applesauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans. In a small mixing bowl, cover the raisins with hot water; let stand for 10 minutes and drain. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, set aside.

In a large bowl, combine apple juice, egg and oil; beat until well mixed, then stir in the applesauce. Gradually stir in the sifted ingredients until smooth. Add the drained raisins; mixing just enough to evenly distribute. Pour the batter into the prepared pans.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
