Applesauce Cake In A Jar Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together dry ingredients & set aside.
• Cream together sugar & shortening, beat in eggs, water & applesauce. Add dry ingredients.
• Stir in nuts.
• Pour in well-greased pint jars, ones with wide mouths & no necks. (Use a pastry brush to reach all spaces.) Fill 1/2 full.
• Bake at 325F for 45 minutes.
• Wipe lips of jars clean, put canning lids & rings on, screw tight. Jars will seal as they cool.
• Decorate tops of jars. Stores in cupboard for up to one year (in theory.) Makes 12-14 pint jars. (Double recipe makes 3 dozen 1/2-pint jars. If using this size, adjust cooking time.).

Steps:

• Sterilize 8 (12 oz Ball Quilted Crystal - #14400-81400) canning jars, lids and
• rings by boiling for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars and allow to air-dry and cool.
• Leave the lids and rings in the hot water until ready to use. Once the jars are cool enough to handle, grease them (use a pastry brush) with shortening (DO NOT use Pam or Baker's Secret); set aside. Cream together the shortening and sugar.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is light and f luffy.
• Add the applesauce and water; set aside. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves.
• Blend dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture. Fold in the nuts.
• Pour batter into the jars, filling them about 1/2 full.
• Place jars onto a cookie sheet or they'll fall over.
• Bake in a preheated 325-degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until a pick inserted deep into the center of each cake comes out clean.
• Remove jars from the oven, one-at-a-time (use HEAVY-DUTY MITTS, the jars ARE HOT!); place a lid, then a ring on top and screw down tightly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom. Set aside.
• In another bowl, with an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and honey until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Beat in applesauce.
• Generously coat a nonstick 9-inch tube pan with cooking spray. Spoon batter into pan; smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (but slightly wet), 50 to 60 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Turn out of pan onto a cutting board or baking sheet; invert cake onto rack, top side up. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving, if desired.
