Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
3. In medium bowl, whisk together apple sauce, water, vanilla, vinegar, and date paste (if using).
4. Pour well-blended wet mixture into large bowl with dry ingredients.
5. Peel and dice ½ cup apples, add to bowl, along with raisins, and mix well.
6. Spoon batter into a silicon muffin baking non-stick pan or paper muffin cups. I recommend the silicon pan because these seem to stick to paper cups after baking. Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes.
7. Remove from oven, allow to cool, and serve.
