APPLESAUCE WITH CRANBERRY LOAF CAKE
Base recipe was found in the All You Magazine but I've tweaked it to make it my own. This is a full flavored cake with a lemony glaze topping which I found to take this cake just over the top of expectations. Of course you can omit the glaze and just serve as a loaf cake for breakfast. The original recipe does not include nuts but I really enjoyed it with some chopped walnuts so I've placed that as optional to this recipe. It also called for raisins but I used Craisins instead. Please note it is very important to use a thicker applesauce for this recipe - using a thin commercial canned sauce can cause the batter to become too thin and not allow the cake loaf to rise properly while baking.

Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe apples: This will ensure that the applesauce has a good texture and flavor.
- Peel and core the apples: This will help to remove any unwanted parts of the apple and make the applesauce smooth.
- Use a variety of apples: This will give the applesauce a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
- Add some cranberries: Cranberries will add a tart and tangy flavor to the applesauce. You can use fresh or frozen cranberries.
- Add some cinnamon: Cinnamon is a classic spice that pairs well with apples and cranberries. You can use ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick.
- Sweeten the applesauce to taste: You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup to sweeten the applesauce. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Cook the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency: You can cook the applesauce for a shorter time for a chunkier applesauce or for a longer time for a smoother applesauce.
