Applesauce Cake with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
Moist and fluffy homemade cinnamon applesauce cake with silky caramel cream cheese frosting. A perfect dessert for any Fall occasion!
I adore Fall but I’m sad summer is already over. It’s only a few short months here, which isn’t nearly long enough. In fact, I noticed some leaves turning as early as August this year. Thankfully, that was few and far between. The majority of trees are still lush and green, but those few early changing trees put a damper on things. I was clinging on to every last bit of summer for as long as possible. The cooler temps are finally here and there’s no going back.
Fully embracing this…it means cozy food and comfy clothes season. Time to cozy up with a comforting bowl of soup, bundle up in layers and sit around a warm fire. And of course… all of the delicious flavors Fall has to offer, from apples to pumpkin and of course cranberries. There’s something for everyone!
I’m practically counting the days until my absolute favorite apple variety is available again. We’re still a few weeks away, since it’s one of the last local varieties to be ready. I’ve gone months without them so whats a few more weeks, right? Do you have a favorite apple variety?
It may not be Fall for another week but the moment September hits, it’s apple season in my eyes which makes it unofficially Fall. New pumpkin recipes can wait until October. There’s plenty of time for that! For now, we’ll enjoy all of the apple treats! And this cinnamon applesauce cake is a perfect way to kick off baking season.
Perfectly moist and fluffy homemade spiced applesauce cake, topped off with silky caramel cream cheese frosting. The combination of applesauce and oil keep the cake super moist, while the applesauce and spices give it a warm and cozy seasonal flavor. Using simple pantry staples, you’ll be able to whip this cake up in no time at all! This is guaranteed to become a new family favorite. In fact, it received an 11/10 rating from my non-apple loving child.
A perfect dessert for Fall or any time of the year! Be sure to add this to your baking plans asap!
