Caramel Applesauce Crown Cake

Ingredients:

1 pkg Namaste Foods Spice Cake Mix 

3 eggs

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup oil

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 fresh apple, grated or chopped (skin left on is okay)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Caramel sauce (optional)

Directions:

Heat oven to 350˚ F. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.  (I choose a beautiful Marian Fleur de Lis Bundt Pan for our crown cake. )   

Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes.  Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  

Cool for 5 minutes and remove from pan. Cool completely and then top with caramel sauce.

*This cake can also be baked in a 9x13 pan for 35-40 minutes, or 2 -9" round layers for 30-35 minutes.
