  • Oatmeal Apple Cake

    I love, love, love this cake recipe!  The original recipe is delightful but I changed it around a little bit to accommodate my pantry.

    • 1/2 cup butter softened
    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 1/2 cups applesauce applebutter
    • 1 1/2 cups flour
    • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/2 cup chopped apples

      Cream butter with sugar. Add eggs, applesauce and water and beat well. Add dry ingredients and incorporate well. Add chopped apples to batter.  Pour batter into a greased and floured bundt pan.  Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until it tests done.

    The original recipe called for applesauce instead of applebutter.  I have several jars of applebutter that I purchased from a local church.  I also love the texture of chopped apples in cakes. So, I decided to throw some in there.  Beyond your typical staples (butter, sugar, flour), this cake costs around $1.00 to make.  See the original recipe for a breakdown of cost.

    The Full Table has become one of my favorite cooking blogs.
