For the cake batter, this recipe called for flour, baking powder, baking soda, butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, applesauce... and the addition of a couple great spices such as cinnamon and allspice. These two spices pair nicely with apples that it really enhanced the apple flavor. A few ingredients were added for more flavor and texture including a chopped apple, pecans and raisins (which I omitted).

Once the batter was fully combined, I placed them in my giant muffin pan tin to bake until done.

The original recipe called for a glaze to top the bars once they were cooled... but I opted not to do the glaze since these mini cakes were already packed with flavor and sweetness. Overall, this was a nice recipe and it makes me long for fall weather... although with the chilly summer Chicago is having, I know we'll get our share of fall weather soon enough!

What a great idea! I love the muffins. I wonder if it would work well in a mini muffin pan? HHHmmm, may have to try that out for next week's book club meeting, instead of the cookies!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for cooler weather - it's too hot here!
ReplyDeleteI made these last year and they were great. Can't wait for fall to make them again. I like the idea of making them in individual cakes.
