A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 cups peeled and diced apples, moistened with lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup chopped raisins or dates
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour milk
Cream together butter and sugar and add beaten egg, stir in fruit and nuts. Sift together dry ingredients and add alternately with milk.
Place in a loaf pan; let stand for 10 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F until cooked, about 1 hour. Serve plain or buttered.
Variation For Cupcakes: Fill lined muffin tins 3/4 full with batter, bake at 400 degrees F approximately 30 minutes.
Combine 4 tbsp. icing sugar with 1 tbsp. applesauce, brush mixture over cupcakes.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I made the cupcake variation and they were very good and moist. I did cut down the amount of raisins though and substituted an equal amount of more apples (don't care for raisins). For the nuts, I used walnuts.

Just like my great grandma used to make! WONDERFUL! Do spray your pan, though. I did and it came out wonderful.
I would suggest spraying the loaf pan because it was sticking to my pans.
