Applesauce Cake In Jars

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Butter or margarine
1 cup	160g / 5.6oz	Brown sugar
1 cup	237ml	Applesauce
2 1/2 cups	156g / 5.5oz	Flour
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1 teaspoon	5ml	Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Nutmeg - opt
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Allspice - opt
1 cup	237ml	Walnuts - chop

Recipe Instructions

In bowl, cream butter and 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.

Place jars in crockpot with crockery liner in place. Cover; cook on high-heat setting for 2 3/4 to 3 hours or until cakes spring back when touched and a wooden toothpick 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.

Hints

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 through 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.
