Cream Cheese Frosting:

Beat together two 3 oz. packages softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup softened butter (or margarine) and 2 tsp. vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in 2 1/2 -2 3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar to make spreadable frosting. (A butter frosting could be used instead of the cream cheese.)

I assume this is Robin From Washington, IA....I think I have saved all your applesauce recipes, as I have froze a big batch of it! You are as helpful as my Roseville Church Cookbook, from Roseville IA and my Mom on the phone!
