By jann

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of softened butter (for Ninja decrease to 1/4 cup!) You are Steam baking!
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 t baking soda
• 3/4 t nutmeg
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups of flour

• 1/2 t kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups of applesauce
• 1 t of pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Ninja Instructions:

I am going to use Ninja Oven setting of 350°. I will not preheat, (testing). In a large bowl, first blend together the butter, egg, & sugar.

Then add the flour, baking soda, spices, & salt.

After it starts to from a crumbly dough, pour in the applesauce and mix together. Spray pan with Pam or other cooking spray. Pour into the baking pan and pour @ least 4 cups of water into the crock. Place rack and baking pan on rack. Set timer for 30 minutes. Check for doneness. I will use a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. Check to see if more water is needed. If so, use hot tap, so the temperature won’t drop too drastically.

Original Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, first blend together the butter, egg, & sugar.

Then add the flour, baking soda, spices, & salt.

After it starts to from a crumbly dough, pour in the applesauce and mix together.

I used two small loaf pans, pouring mixture evenly into both.

I sprayed my pans with cooking spray first or you could use parchment paper, depending on the dish you choose to bake them in.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.

Ooo they smell soooo good!!

They came out perfectly moist with just the right amount of spice!
