Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the cups of muffin tins. Cream together the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time. Stir in the applesauce and pumpkin until well mixed. Next add the apple juice, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Don’t over mix. When just smooth, add the salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and mace. Stir in the walnuts. Pour into the prepared muffin tins.
