on Jan 02, 2013, Updated Dec 08, 2022 45 Comments I made this apple breakfast cake for new year’s day morning and I have to tell you, my family is a bit obsessed with it. I had been testing a new breakfast cake recipe and then decided to make one that I knew Mama would be able to eat easily. She has to be careful with eating eggs and I like to make recipes that the whole family can enjoy, especially for special occasions. Instead of using eggs, I amped up the apple flavor and the moist texture of this breakfast cake with applesauce. Did you know you can substitute applesauce in many baked goods without losing a soft crumb? It works well in pancakes, muffins, waffles, and also in cookies. It really shines in this recipe, too! This recipe is so simple to whip together. You mix it all together with a spoon in one big bowl. It’s nice not to have to worry about turning on a mixer early in the morning so that you can let other folks in the house sleep in a bit on a holiday or weekend. The smell of it baking is sure to wake them up though. It made my entire house smell so warm and delicious that it was hard to wait on it to finish baking! Here’s the recipe to my Apple Breakfast Cake. I added a streusel topping for even more flavor, but this cake is amazing without it. It gets gobbled up quickly either way, I promise. Enjoy!Robyn xo
