Title: Applesauce Cake in Jars
Categories: Cheesecakes, Crockpot
Yield: 10 servings

1/2 c Butter or margarine
1 c Brown sugar
1 c Applesauce
2 1/2 c Flour
1/2 tb Baking soda
1/2 tb Salt
1 tb Baking powder
1/2 tb Cinnamon
1/2 tb Ground cloves
1/4 tb Nutmeg; opt
1/4 tb Allspice; opt
1 c Walnuts; chop

In bowl cream butter; gradually add sugar to the
creamed butter. Thoroughly mix until fluffy. Add
applesauce. Sift together all dry ingredients, then add
those to the mixture. Add the nuts, and stir well. Pour
cake mixture into wide-mouth canning jars.
WARNING: Please use only canning jars that are specially
tempered. Do not use cans or other jars that may not be
appropriate for this method due to lead content. Or, use a
special crockpot baking pan available thruough Rival Co. To
assure that baked cakes will slip out easily, grease inside
of jars well. (Lining bottom of jars with waxed paper also
will help.) Cover each jar with a piece of foil greased on
one side. Place greased side down and press foil around
edges to seal tightly. Place jars in crockpot with crockery
liner in place. Cover; cook on high-heat setting for 2 3/4
to 3 hours or till cakes spring back when touched and a
wooden tothpick inserted near the centers comes out clean.
Remove jars from cooker; cool 10 minutes. Unmold cakes;
remove waxed paper. Serve warm or cool with whipped
topping, if desired.
