I made this twice! A winner.! Once with homemade quick applesauce, nuts and allspice. Then again with the applesauce, craisins and chopped nuts. I didn't have any raisins. I served with vanilla ice cream. Since allspice is cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves combined, I just added the measurements into one. I also used brown sugar instead of white sugar. I am make again.

Originally from the Midwest, I have lived in New Orleans for decades--my waistline shows it!
It's a fabulous foodie city, with new restaurants constantly opening. Travel is very important to me, and we do a lot of that. My photography "habit" and travel go together nicely, as does a growing passion for birding and its associated travel.
