APPLESAUCE CAKE

THIS IS A RICH TASTING MOIST CAKE WHICH ELIMINATES THE NEED TO ADD MILK AND EGGS, MAKING IT LOW IN FAT. IT IS TASTY AND VERY DELICIOUS. MY FAMILYS FAVORITE.

5. ****IF YOU ARE OUT OF APPLESAUCE, YOU CAN PEEL, CORE AND CUT UP 2 APPLES AND COOK UNTIL IT TURNS MUSHY WITH 2 TO 4 TABLESPOONS OF APPLE JUICE OR WATER IN A SAUCEPAN. THIS SHOULD MAKE 1 CUP
   
   
6. *****DO NOT USE THE REDUCED FAT MARGARINE BECAUSE OF THE HIGH WATER CONTENTS. LAND O LAKES SWEET CREAM SPREAD WORKS WONDERFULLY IN ANY BAKED ITEMS. I USE IT ALL THE TIME WHEN I BAKE.
