1
Bring applesauce to a boil in a small saucepan; remove from heat.
2
Stir in oats and raisins; cover and let stand 20 min.
3
(Mixture will be thick and will thicken up more while standing, so you should have the rest of the batter ready by the time the 20 min. are up.) Beat butter at medium speed with an electic mixer until fluffy.
4
Gradually add sugar, beating well.
5
Add egg and beat well.
6
Combine dry ingredients and add gradually to creamed mixture, mixing just until blended after each addition.
7
Stir in applesauce mixture.
8
Pour batter into a 9-in. square pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
9
Bake at 350 for 30-40 min. or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
10
Cool in pan on a wire rack.

(I found I liked this best served slightly warm.).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
