1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c. applesauce
1 3/4 c. flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. sugar mixed with 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

In large bowl cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until light and fluffy. Beat in applesauce. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture; stir just enough to moisten.
