Easy Applesauce Cake
I know, I know… another bundt cake. I just can’t help myself. I have so many bundt cake pans, and everything looks cuter in bundt cake form, right?
With the abundance of apples this season I thought an applesauce cake would fit right in. Especially if you go apple picking and end up with dozens and dozens of apples. All you have to do is make some applesauce with those apples, and a cake is born.
I used a mini bundt cake pan for this recipe and it pretty much maxed out the pan. If you don’t have a bundt cake you could easily use an 8×8″ square pan to make this. It’s delicious, easy, and perfect for the fall seaon!
Grab your cutest little bundt cake pan and bake away!
