List of Ingredients
1 cup applesauce
2 cups All-Purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup seeded raisins
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon cinnamonRecipe
Cream butter and add sugar. Mix soda in applesauce and then add to butter mixture. Mix and sift flour and spices. Add gradually to butter and applesauce mixture. Reserve a little bit of flour to stir in raisins which have been simmered for a few minutes in enough water to barely cover. Then drain well before mixing in the small amount of flour. Add raisins last of all to main mixture.
Butter well a large cast iron skillet. Cut wax paper to fit skillet. Let it come up to the top of sides. Trim off extra. Rub paper in skillet. Be sure both sides of paper are well buttered. Peal and slice rather thinly enough apple to cover bottom of skillet. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Pour Cake batter in apples. Bake in 350 degree oven until cake remains dented slightly when touched with finger. Put plate over skillet. Turn cake out on plate. Carefully peel of waxed paper.
Serve as is or with whipped cream or ice cream.
