Apple Spice Cake Variation and Creamy Frosting, Sugar-Free!

Apple Spice Cake


We did a couple of variations on the Apple Spice Cake recently.


First, we did an Apply Apple Spice Cake -- instead of 2 cups of applesauce, we used 1 cup of applesauce and about 1 1/2 cups diced apples (1/2" dice.)  We did all other aspects as usual, except used liquid canola oil for baking since we were doing it immediately.  Then, as soon as it came out of the oven, we sprinkled it with about 3 tablespoons fructose and 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon.  We served it warm -- it was amazing!


The second variation was a Fruit Juice Spice Cake -- instead of the applesauce, we used the juice from some canned fruit, (peaches and pears), and baked it as usual.  This cake we frosted.
