APPLE SNACK CAKE
This is a simple yet delicious apple cake. A short list of ingredients make it a snap to put together. Don't let the small amount of batter scare you, it does rise up and fill the pan nicely. I think it would be great with cool whip or ice cream and served warm. Enjoy!

APPLESAUCE SNACK CAKE
This is the best applesauce cake I've ever had, much less made! Triple Apple Action flavour and it is sooo easy to make. It is very very moist and does not dry out the next day (if it lasts that long). Variation ideas follow the main recipe and other add-ins can be folded into batter, such as nuts or raisins, although this cake is at it's best when it's at its simplest. Think Less Is More. From Cook's Illustrated September/October 2006, This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a 13"x9" pan. If doubling the recipe, give the cider and dried apple mixture about 20 minutes to reduce and bake the cake for 45 minutes. This cake is very moist, it's best to err on the side of 'overdone' when testing its doneness. Apple juice can be substituted for apple cider, but cider is the best option. Cooled leftovers can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for up to two days. Freezes very well. Makes one 8" square cake

EASY SNACK CAKE
I needed SOMEthing sweet for an afternoon snack and modified a shortbread recipe to come up with this. It's not chocolate, but I have used vanilla instead of lemon, omitted the peel and added about 1/2 cup chocolate chips because that was the only chocolate in the house. This is a fairly dense, hearty cake

Tips:
- Use fresh, crisp apples: This will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
- Peel and core your apples before grating them: This will make the grating process easier and will help to prevent the apples from browning.
- Grate your apples using the large holes of a box grater: This will create thin, even slices that will cook evenly.
- Toss the grated apples with lemon juice: This will help to prevent them from browning and will also add a bit of brightness to the cake.
- Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar: This will give the cake a rich, caramelized flavor.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter and will make the cake light and tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming tough.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
