Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray or lightly grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan. Combine dates, date sugar and boiling water in a small bowl. Allow to sit and cool for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the flour, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
In another smaller bowl mix together the applesauce, egg, vanilla and rum (or juice) until combined well. Add both the applesauce mixture, followed by the date mixture into the large bowl of dry ingredients; combine well. Stir in the walnuts.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick test comes out clean.
