3/4 C Raisins
3/4 C Walnuts

Preheat oven to 350F. Oil a 10-inch round cake pan or 8 or 9 inch square baking pan. Beat oil, maple syrup, and vanilla together until smooth. Stir in applesauce, raisins, and walnuts. In separate bowl, sift remaining ingredients together. Dough will be stiff. Spread into prepared pan.
