3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

½ cup regular sugar

½ cup light brown sugar

2.      In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter, applesauce and 2 cups of the sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla and the eggs one at time beating mixture well after each egg.

3.      Combine flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add half of the flour mixture to the egg mixture and combine well. Add half of the sour cream to the mixture and combine well. Repeat.
