- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.

- In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the applesauce, chopped dates, and nuts (if using) until just blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting.
- Once cooled, cut into bars and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
