OLD-FASHIONED APPLESAUCE
We had all kinds of apple trees in the yard when I was growing up, so I don't know for sure which ones Mother liked best for applesauce. (Today I use Cortlands.) I do know that her applesauce was very white. The secret, she said, was to keep the apples in salt water while she peeled them so that they wouldn't darken. -Doris Natvig, Jesup, Iowa

OLD FASHIONED APPLESAUCE SPICE CAKE
I found this recipe on a Duncan Hines spice cake mix box. It was easy to make. It was not too sweet, but sweet enough! I used chunky applesauce & I did not frost the cake -- I just sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar, but the frosting sounds good too.

OLD FASHIONED HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE CAKE.
If you make your own homemade applesauce than this is the cake recipe for you. Using store-bought just will not work ( I tried, very dry and hard result). But with the homemade this is a very moist, delicous and versatile cake, I have served it plain sans icing, iced it with my grandmothers butterscotch icing or vanilla or cream cheese icings, all with rave reviews. So if you've got a couple cups of left over applesauce give it a try!

Steps:
- Grease and flour bundt pan. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- With electric mixer combine shortening and sugar, add applesauce and raisins. ( Yes, use the beater to beat in the raisins.) Add the dry ingredients mixing well until all ingredients are well incorporated. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack until completely cool, ice as desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core the apples: This is the most time-consuming part of the process, but it's important to do it properly. Use a sharp knife to remove the peel and core, and be careful not to cut yourself.
- Cook the apples: You can cook the apples in a saucepan on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. If you're using a saucepan, bring the apples to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
- Add flavorings: Once the apples are cooked, you can add flavorings such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or cloves. You can also add a little bit of sugar or honey if you like.
- Serve the applesauce: Applesauce can be served warm or cold. It's a great addition to pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or yogurt. You can also use it as a filling for pies or tarts.
Conclusion:
Applesauce is a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. It's also a low-calorie food that can help you feel full longer. Applesauce is a great way to use up extra apples, and it's a great addition to any meal.
