Don't feel guilty about indulging in these bite size brownies because the applesauce keeps them moist without the added fat. The chocolatey taste is accented with a hint of raspberry. They freeze well and are great for take-along snacks or for a dessert tray.

1 tablespoon butter
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
½ cup seedless raspberry jam
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
