- 1 stick or 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons butter or margarine softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk could use regular milk

Powdered Sugar Glaze
- 1 cup white powdered sugar

Instructions
- Cream butter and brown sugar. Add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and applesauce. Mix with mixer.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and salt in a bowl. Mix well with wire whisk and add to liquid ingredients mixing together with mixer. Fold in craisins and nuts with a spoon. Pour batter into a 9 x 5 bread pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I sprinkle a little brown sugar and a few nuts on top just to give it a little crunch). Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 55-60 minutes checking for doneness as ovens vary. Let cool about 10 minutes before removing from pan.
