Applesauce Cake

July 2, 2016 by andrea Leave a Comment

This is a quick, simple cake that is great for using up the bottom of a jar of applesauce. My grandma used to make applesauce cake and while this isn’t her exact recipe, it does stir up fond memories. My favorite part of this cake is how the top turns into a crunchy layer while the cake is soft.
