Polish Applesauce Cake is a classic dessert that is popular all across the United States, especially during the fall and winter months. Made with everyday ingredients like applesauce, cinnamon, and walnuts, this cake is simple yet packed with flavor. The cake is soft, moist, and tender, with a slightly crispy crust on top, and the brown sugar and walnut topping adds a lovely crunch to every bite. Whether you serve this cake at a holiday party or as an afternoon snack for the family, it is sure to be a hit.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2.In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3.Add in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
5.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the applesauce, mixing well after each addition.
6.Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7.While the cake is baking, prepare the topping by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and walnuts, and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
8.Pour the topping over the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven, spreading it evenly over the top.
9.Serve warm or allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
