Applesauce Spice Cake

Published September 11, 2015

I really love fresh, local apples. I often go apple picking this time of year. I try to stock up on apples when they are in season. At some point, I process some for longer term storage. Some apples are sliced and dehydrated. I usually can applesauce, too. That way, I can enjoy local apples all year long. This cake is one way to enjoy applesauce, homemade or store bought. I used butter in the recipe, but if you used coconut oil instead, the recipe would be vegan. The spices work so well together. Simple and full of flavor.

Applesauce Spice Cake
