Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread

Before I got married, I made this bread for a house of guys in my ward. They devoured it and begged for more. I made them another loaf, and it was gone in minutes; they wanted more. Two of them offered to purchase all of the ingredients, and pay me $5 every time I made them a loaf. It's that good.

1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup chunky applesauce
1/2 cup Granny Smith apple, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 packets instant apple cinnamon oatmeal (single serving size)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in applesauce, cinnamon and 1 1/2 packets oatmeal. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Mix in the baking soda and flour. Add chopped apple. Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 packet of oatmeal.

Bake for 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
