Ingredients for Applesauce Raisin Chews

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine, softened
  • Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Quaker Oats
  • 1 cup raisins

How to Make Applesauce Raisin Chews

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and raisins.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cool, store the Applesauce Raisin Chews in an airtight container at room temperature.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
