1 c. pumpkin
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce

Divide half of batter between two 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in loaf pans coated with nonstick cooking spray. Spread each with filling; top with remaining batter. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Refrigerate leftovers.
