Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, large egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the grated apple, chopped walnuts, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
