Applesauce Bars

11 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup dry sugar substitute (I used Splenda)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon clove
  • 1 1/2 cups hot unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (I used pecans)
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Directions

  1. 1
    Place flour, sugar, dry sugar substitute, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a mixer bowl and mix at low speed to blend well.
  2. 2
    Combine hot applesauce and baking soda. (Don't try to be modern and use cold applesauce and mix the baking soda with the flour; it doesn't work as well that way.).
  3. 3
    Add the applesauce mixture, along with oil, nuts, and raisins, to flour mixture.
  4. 4
    Mix at medium speed until flour is moistened and batter is creamy.
  5. 5
    Spread batter evenly in a 9 x 13-inch cake pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray or greased well with margarine or butter.
  6. 6
    Bake at 375 degrees for 20 or 25 minutes, or until bars pull away from the sides of the pan and a cake tester comes out clean from the center. Cool on a wire rack.
