Applesauce Tropical Fruitcake

"We don't care for traditional fruitcake so I used what we do like and came up with this. So good with a light spread of unsalted butter or light cream cheese with coffee. Friends who dislike fruitcake flock to these loaves like starving wolves. The loaves go fast. Prep times includes overnight chilling."
