1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. applesauce
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/2 c. pitted chopped prunes
1/2 c. chopped dates

In saucepan over medium heat, bring water, applesauce, dates, prunes and raisins to a boil. Reduce heat and cook 4 minutes. Remove from heat; add butter and stir until melted. Stir in vanilla and eggs. Blend in dry ingredients and mix. I double the recipe to use 1 package dates and to make 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
