Useful tips for Apple Cinnamon Cake

If possible, use tart apples in this recipe. Any apple will do, but those are the best. Leave the skins on, extra nutrition and texture (plus less work).

If you can’t find unsweetened applesauce, buy regular applesauce and use 1/4 cup less sugar. As it is, this cake is pretty sweet.

Any oil will do, we used sunflower. You can also substitute all of the oil for another 1/2 cup of applesauce if you’d like to omit it altogether (just make sure to grease your pan very well if you do so).
