Easy and inexpensive to make. Love this also because it's not super sweet tasting. Very mellow flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening or lard
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup nuts
Directions:
Cream sugar and shortening; add well beaten egg and other ingredients. Bake in paper-lined 9x9 inch pan at 350 degrees F for about 60 minutes. Serve plain, frosted, or with whipped cream. I'm told this is a 50 year old recipe.
