Directions

Whisk together canola oil, melted butter, applesauce, sugar and egg in a medium bowl until well blended.

In another large bowl, combine flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon until well mixed.

Make a well in center, pour liquid mixture into flour mixture.

Stir until just moistened and incorporated.

Shape dough into a ball. (Dough will be stiff)

Place dough on a lightly floured surface, roll into a 16- x 8-inch rectangle.

Spread filling over dough, leaving a ½-inch edge on all sides.

Starting at long side, carefully roll dough tightly, jellyroll fashion; pinch seam and ends of roll to seal.

Wrap dough in wax paper or plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour.

Unwrap roll, and cut into ¼ inch slices.

Place 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets.

Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 12 to 15 minutes.

FILLING:

Combine dates, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan.

Cook over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.

Remove filling from heat, and stir in pecans until well mixed.

Let cool completely.

Makes about 3 dozen.
