APPLESAUCE CAKE

Recipe adapted from the cookbook my uncle gave my Auntie Ted in 1953 for Mother’s Day!

Son #2 grafted a Honeycrisp apple tree his sophomore year in high school. I didn’t think we would actually grow a full-size apple tree, but I was determined to try!

We planted it in one of my enamelware pots. Then we babied it and watched it grow! Later we transplanted in the backyard, and it produces the yummiest apples!

Last week he picked all the apples, and we made applesauce in the Instant Pot. It is oh so good!

Saturday I took some of the applesauce and made the most delicious cake! Probably the best cake from scratch I’ve ever made.

I used a recipe from my Auntie Ted’s cookbook as a jumping-off point.
