Ingredients
  

  • Butter or oil for greasing pan
  • 3 cups flour all-purpose
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks) room temperature
  • 1-½ cups light-brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 eggs large
  • 2 cups applesauce
  • Confectioners sugar optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
  • In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar and honey with a heavy spoon until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Add applesauce. Gradually add flour mixture; beat just until combined.
  • Spoon batter into pan; smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 30-40 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan 10 minutes. Turn out of pan onto a cutting board, baking sheet or wire rack; carefully turn cake top-side up. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • There are many varieties of apples—some are best for eating, some for cooking, and others are all-purpose.
  • They can be sweet or tart, and come in a variety of colors.
  • Apples are low in calories and fat-free. They are a good source of Vitamin C and fiber.
  • Apples will stay fresh at room temperature for 2 days. They can remain fresh in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or more. Wash in cold water before eating.
  • Most apples discolor quickly after they are cut, so use them quickly or toss them with some lemon juice to stop browning.
 
OTHER USES FOR APPLES
  • Slice up an apple and add to a salad for a sweet delicious crunch.
  • Spread a small amount of peanut butter on apple slices, and enjoy as a healthy snack.
