    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4 1/2      teaspoons  active dry yeast -- (2 pkg)
    1 1/2           cups  warm water -- (110F to 115F), divided
    1           teaspoon  sugar
    3                     eggs -- beaten
    1                cup  applesauce
       1/2           cup  honey
       1/2           cup  vegetable oil
    2          teaspoons  salt
    8               cups  all-purpose flour
    1 1/2           cups  peeled, diced apples
    1 1/2           cups  raisins
    2        tablespoons  lemon juice
    2        tablespoons  cornmeal
                          GLAZE:
    1                     egg -- beaten
                          sugar

In a small bowl, combine yeast, 1/2 cup water and sugar; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, applesauce, honey, oil, salt and 
remaining water; mix well. Stir in yeast mixture. Gradually add 
enough flour to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface until 
smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, 
turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until 
doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down and turn over in bowl. Cover and 
let rise 30 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine apples, raisins and lemon juice. Divide 
dough into three parts; knead one-third of the apple mixture into 
each part. Shape each into round flat balls. Place each in a greased 
8" round baking pan that has been sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and 
let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Brush each loaf with egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350F for 30 
to 35 minutes or until brown sounds hollow when tapped.
