1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (can substitute ginger for nutmeg)
1 cup canned applesauce
1 pkg. (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2-cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and beat. Add dry ingredients alternately with applesauce and beat. Add remaining ingredients and mix. Bake in a greased 13x9x2" pan in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Cool in pan and sift confectioner's sugar lightly over the top (also good without the sugar on top).
