How to Make Applesauce Raisin Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the applesauce and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the raisins and chopped nuts (if using).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
