1. Cream applesauce and sugar. Add beaten egg whites, one at a time, beating after each. Mix all dry ingredients together (reserve 1 cup for dredging fruits and nuts). Add to creamed mixture. Add mashed bananas, dredged fruit, preserves and nuts to the mixture. Mix well. Bake in a greased tube pan for 1 hour or longer if needed at 350u0b0.
