Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar blend
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar and sugar blend until well blended. Beat in the applesauce, egg and vanilla (mixture will appear curdled).
