Applesauce Muffins

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 Tbl. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. soda
1 cup applesauce
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Mix soda with applesauce. Add nuts and raisins to applesauce. Blend all ingredients together. Fill muffin tins sprayed with non-stick spray 2/3 full. Bake 10-12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen.

Changes - Not many, these are great just as they are, but you could add some coconut or instead of using applesauce use very well drained crushed pineapple.
