APPLESAUCE BREAD PUDDING
1 No. 2 can applesauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ cup seedless raisins
1 tablespoon butter
4 slices day-old bread
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
Combine applesauce, lemon juice and raisins and place half of this mixture in the bottom of a greased 1-quart baking dish. Butter bread and cut 3 slices in small cubes and the remaining slice in 4 triangles. Place the bread cubes on top of the applesauce mixture. Mix together cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle half of this over the bread cubes. Top with remaining applesauce mixture and then with bread triangles, pushing them down slightly into applesauce mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the pudding. Bake in a moderate oven (350°F.) 30 minutes. Allow to cool before serving. Sweetened whipped cream may be used as a topping, if desired. 4 to 5 Servings
