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.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger, I loved anything and everything with chocolate, and now I find I love anything and everything with either apples or berries. Your recipe looks so yummy and perfect for the Fall days ahead! Thanks for sharing, Kitty. Always something yummy coming out of your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteBig Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Those cakes are adorable. I love apple cake. Your teacup, scale and apple candle are too cute. Thanks for being a stop on our tour.
ReplyDeleteYour recipe sounds delicious! It's such a rainy, gloomy day here today and these might be just the thing to cheer us up :) Happy Fall! xoxo, Andrea
ReplyDeleteI love that Fall tea cup. I thinned out my tea cup collection yesterday but don't think I have one like that! Enjoy your day and thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to brown transferware and your teacup is lovely! What a yummy recipe--thanks for sharing! Happy to be touring with you! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
ReplyDeleteYum! I suddenly feel some baking coming on. That is an adorable cup, too.
ReplyDeleteI love anything apple or pumpkin...anytime, but especially in the fall! These little cakelets (love the name!) are so adorable baked in those cute little pans. I love the big apple candle sitting on your kitchen scales...I have a vintage kitchen scale on my wish list for when we get into our farmhouse. Enjoy your week, Kitty! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteYour setting is so pretty, Kitty. The cup and saucer is beautiful and the little cakes look sooo good. Thanks for all the good recipes you share with us.
ReplyDeleteOh Kitty your little cakes have my mouth watering! I love the sweet leaf shape. My son is off from school today and I bet he would love these. I too love that teacup pattern.
ReplyDeleteWish I could smell those cakelets! I am a cake eater and want to find a cake pan like that! So cute. Loved your setting. It's all so cute. And thanks for the recipe! Pinned and off to the grocery store!
ReplyDeleteKitty, the applesauce cakelets look delicious and perfect for this dreary, rainy day. I hope you are enjoying the rain as much as we are. I'm happy to just hold up at home and listen to the rain as I go about my day. Happy Autumn!
ReplyDeleteKitty, I love your Harvest tea cup. That pattern always catches my eye this time of year and makes me wish I had some. The applesauce cakelets have to be delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty table setting and the applesauce spice cakelets look so good. Thanks for the recipe to make them.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week.

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.
ReplyDeleteKitty- you are such a good cook!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was sitting in your kitchen so I could watch and learn.
Isn't this tour fun?

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.
ReplyDeleteThat teacup is stunning,Kitty!Delicious recipe!Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so wonderful! I make an apple cake for my dear mother-in-law, and I think she would love this recipe, also. She LOVES sweets! Bless her little heart, we try to make anything for her that she likes. So nice to visit with you tonight ~ it is always a blessing to come by here.
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this recipe and I'm happy to be part of the Fall In Love With Texas tour with you!
Barb :)
Kitty, thank you for the applesauce cake recipe. Sounds wonderful on a cool fall morning ~ if we will ever get one! And your teacup is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteOOH, 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
ReplyDeleteKitty, 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!
ReplyDeleteMmm, 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. :-)
ReplyDeleteKitty, what a beautiful little cake! I've seen those Nordic cake pans. Was it difficult to get the cakes out? Your recipe looks so delicious and I will surely try it! Love your tea cup, teapot, scale and little red candle apple!
ReplyDeleteOh 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 :)
ReplyDeleteYou 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
ReplyDeleteEnjoying 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!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute little tea cake Kitty! I know you and Cissy had fun trying out a new recipe and a new pan! Your vignette is apple adorable!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Thanks for the great reminder! I have a cakelet pan in the bake of the cupboard I had forgotten about! Guess what I am making today??! Love your scale and Johnson Brothers Harvest Time is a favorite! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!
ReplyDeleteRuth
Love your cakelets, Kitty! Would love to have one right now with a steaming cup of tea from your Brown Betty.
ReplyDeleteIt's always inspiring to come see something pretty and take home a new recipe!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this yummy recipe and your teacup is gorgeous!
