Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray-coat a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with vegetable spray (or use Canola oil in a Misto sprayer) and set aside.

Combine prunes and boiling water; set aside to cool.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Sift into mixing bowl and add light brown sugar.

Combine eggs, sour cream and melted butter. Add to flour mixture. Stir until lumps disappear. Add grated apple and the cooled prune and water mixture. Stir just until blended.

Turn batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until center springs back to touch and edges shrink from sides of pan. Cool slightly, abut 10 to 12 minutes, before removing from pan. Slice when thoroughly cool.

This recipe yields approximately 12 generous slices/servings.
