This is my favorite amish recipe. You can substitute the pudding for any flavor you wish. You can replace the applesause for any fruit. In some breads omit the cinnamon and poppy seeds. I always sugar my pan sprayed with pam instead of flouring it. Other options you can try are;

chocolate pudding----chocolate syrup (my favorite)

bananna pudding----bananas

pistacio pudding----applesause

vanilla pudding----apples or pears

tapioca pudding----blue,black,strawberries or cherries

Lemon----applesause

butterscotch----applesause

NUTS on these breads are wonderful!
