Applesauce Spice Cakelets for Fall in Love with Texas


Welcome to my home for the Fall in Love with Texas Blog Tour.  I've set our tea party on the patio since we still have nice days here in October.  Would you like an applesauce spice cakelet?  They are so moist and perfect for a Fall treat.  I love using my Sadler Brown Betty teapot year round.   I had a gift card to HomeGoods and I bought an Autumn Treats Pan by Nordic Ware, and Cissy, my granddaaughter,  and I had fun baking the cakelets, with the recipe that came with the pan. 

 Katie, from Let's Add Sprinkles, is our hostess.  Thank you for organizing this for us!

 This is one of my favorite Fall teacups, which is Johnson Brothers, Harvest Time.  Isn't it pretty,  and with such a lovely, vintage transferware design?  Bringing it out in the Fall is like seeing an old friend!

 My American Family Scale is a such fun accessory for my kitchen. I got this for $18 several years ago in a downtown McKinney antique mall!!





Yield: 6 cakelets

Applesauce Spice Cakelets

These are moist, very flavorful cakes, and perfect for Fall!  Cissy helped with them and grated the nutmeg. 

ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/ 4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/ 4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1/ 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg (I used freshly grated)
  • 1/ 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/ 2 teaspoon vanilla

instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare pan with spray or butter and flour (I like to use Baker's Joy).
Blend butter, sugar and eggs together. In separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, soda, spices and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to butter, sugar and egg mixture. Add applesauce and blend in vanilla.
Divide evenly between each cake well. Tap on counter-top gently to remove air bubbles. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cake ’s center comes out clean. Cool on rack for 10 minutes before turning out.

  21. I'd love to try your applesauce spice cakelets. The brown betty teapot is so versatile and can be dressed up according to the seasons with a tea cozy. Your JB teacup is the epitome of fall.

  23. These look delicious and I wonder if they wouldn't work well in little mini-loaves pans. Your table setting is so welcoming to fall and I so wish it would hurry up and get to NE Louisiana.

  26. Hi Kitty! YUM!!! Your applesauce spice cakelet looks really delicious!!! One of the things I didn't bring with me when we moved out to Texas in our small travel trailer was my mini Bundt pan. Now I wish I had! ;) Happily pinning your recipe to my Yummy! board for you and our readers.

    Thanks for this recipe and I'm happy to be part of the Fall In Love With Texas tour with you!

  28. OOH, those cakelets look so good! YUM! Loving your pretty decorated table and that darling tea cup. Our temps has been in 80's so at least it's a bit cooler here. Been wanting to get more Fall going on at my home but it's been so hot that it's hard to think about it. For now, I will enjoy others on the blog. Have a great day dear Kitty. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  29. Kitty, these are perfect for fall. I love small serving desserts like these - pinned, and thank you! I also love the Johnson Bros Harvest Time pattern too. I better not run into that at an estate sale or antique mall because I know I would cave and buy it, even though I absolutely do not need any more dishes!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Mmm, your applesauce cakelet looks wonderful, Kitty! After the pumpkin pie is gone I'm thinking it may be time to bake a gingerbread and serve it with applesauce. Yes, those seasonal teacups are like old friends we are happy to see again. Yours is so pretty and I love anything made by Johnson Bros. Glad you're still enjoying warm days. I'm missing them. I can look forward to Christmas now that Thanksgiving is over. :-)

  32. Oh my gosh, you live in McKinney, Texas? We stayed there for the wedding the daughter of very close friends. We stayed at the Grand Hotel :) They just sold there home in McKinney and moved to Prosper where they are building a new home. Such a charming town! I remember a nice antique store just off the square. Your cakelets look delicious, BTW :)

  33. You Texas gals sure know how to decorate and bake! I wish your cakelets would hop right onto to my plate so I could enjoy it with my coffee this morning :-) Have a great weekend. xo

  34. Enjoying some applesauce spice cakelets with tea poured from that teapot into your pretty Fall teacup sounds rather divine, Kitty. A right royal Texan tea party with the trees turning into glorious autumnal hues sounds quite delightful!
