Old Fashioned Applesauce Cake
Old Fashioned Applesauce Cake
This old-fashioned applesauce cake is probably one of our all-time go-to recipes of all time.
The recipe came from one of my mom’s friends and I’m sure it’s a lot older than that. I always keep jars of applesauce in the freezer and pull it out to make when we have company. The kids love it, too!
If you don’t like raisins, leave them out, but it’s a great addition to the cake!
Every fall, we go apple picking at our friend’s orchard. Then, I use my aunt’s applesauce maker (which I have permanently borrowed) to boil down the apples to make applesauce. I freeze them in peanut butter jars in the freezer. Each jar is about the right amount for one cake!
Easy!
Eat warm or cold. With ice cream or whipped cream, or alone for breakfast. Any way is a good way!
