Easy Applesauce Cake
Apple Butter Recipes

Here some oldtime applesauce recipes. I don't make homemade applesauce that much anymore, but I can remember my mom sending us to the farmer down the street to collect crabapples, and we use to make crabapple jelly.

How to make Apple Sauce

Wipe, quarter, core, and pare eight tart apples. Make a syrup by boiling seven minutes one cup sugar and one cup water with thin shaving from rind of a lemon. Remove lemon, add enough apples to cover bottom of saucepan, watch carefully during cooking, and remove as soon as soft. Continue until all are cooked. Strain remaining syrup over apples.
(Recipe from 1920's)

Baked Apple Butter

10 lbs apples
1 1/2 quarts cider
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
5 lbs of sugar

Peel, core, and quarter apples. Place in a large kettle. Add enough water to cover apples. Simmer until soft. Stir in the cider, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. Pour the mixture into a roasting pan; cover. Bake at 350 until the mixture boils, stir occasionally. Lower heat to 250, and bake 5 hours or overnight. Ladle the apple butter into sterilized jars and seal.
(Recipe from 1974)

Spiced Applesauce

Wipe, quarter, core, and pare eight tart apples. Put in a saucepan, sprinkle with one cup sugar, add eight cloves, and enough water to prevent apples from burning. Cook to a mush, stirring occasionally
Recipe from 1951

Easy Applesauce Cake Recipe

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup applesauce
1 1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 teaspoon cocoa

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and applesauce. Add sifted dry ingredients. Mix well. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Can be made into a small sheet cake or use a round cake pan. It makes 1 cake.
Note: If you make a sheetcake, it is not very thick, maybe a 1/2 inch. This cake is suppose to be served in the pan it was baked. Also I didn't have any cocoa, so I added a half of a dry package of Nestle hot cocoa mix as a substitute. And also check the cake after 20 min, just to be sure it doesn't burn.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
1 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 ounces softened cream cheese
Mix well, and frost on cooled cake. Perfect for applesauce or carrot cake too

Quick History Fact - Have you heard about the legendary "Johnny Appleseed" He, according to story and song, spread his apple seeds all over the nation. His name was Jonathan Chapman. Born in Massachusetts on September 26, 1775, Chapman earned his nickname because he planted small orchards and individual apple trees during his travels as he walked across 100,000 square miles of Midwestern wilderness and prairie. He was a genuine and dedicated professional nurseryman. Maybe that's where we get the Jonathan Apple?
