Time 1h25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
11/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cups vegetable shortening
2 1/3 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 cups applesauce
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 (2 1/2-inch) wide-mouth canning jars with a paper towel dipped in shortening.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and baking soda into a large bowl. Using the electric mixer and a medium mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar on low speed, then increase to medium mixing speed to mix well. While the mixer is running, add the eggs, one at a time. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the applesauce. With a large spoon, stir in the sifted flour mixture and the walnuts. Pour the batter into a measuring cup with a spout; pour the batter neatly into greased jars. Fill the jars halfway full. Place the filled jars on the sheet tray and bake on the center rack of the oven for 45 minutes. When done, the top of the cake will spring back when pressed with a finger, and the sides will have come away from the jar. Remove from oven and let cool 10 to 15 minutes. Cake will still be warm, but not hot. Place a circle of waxed paper on top of the jar and seal with the jar lid. Place carefully so as not to break the glass.

APPLE CAKE IN A JAR WITH LEMON SAUCE



Apple Cake in a Jar With Lemon Sauce image

Ever baked cakes in canning jars? It's neat! ANY quick bread-type cake can be baked in canning jars. Lighter cakes tend to fall once the jar seals. I usually bake one jar first -- you have to know how high the batter rises. I usually fill ONE jar 1/2 full then bake it to see how high it rises, then go from there. You don't want the cake to come out of the top of the jar, only to within 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the lip of the jar. Write it down on your recipe (how far you filled the jars)! Once you've established how high the cake rises, you can go from there. The first time around is a bit tricky because you won't know how many jars you'll need. MOST of the recipes I've tried I end up using around 8. Sterilize as many jars as you think you'll need and go from there. Make sure your LIDS are new, the rings don't ha ve to be As the jars do seal, the cakes are as moist as the day you put them into the jars--sometimes MORE SO. The baking times will vary.

APPLE CAKE IN A JAR

Classic and easy, this cake uses a simple method to make a delicious cake that keeps well on the canning shelf and acts as a wonderful gift. It says 4 servings in each pint jar. Guess my Eric never got that memo as, one pint - one man, fits him well. This recipe makes 8 pints

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 c shortening
2 2/3 c white sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
3 c all-purpose flour
2/3 c water
3 c grated apple
2/3 c raisins
2/3 c chopped walnuts
8 8 straight-sided wide-mouth pint canning jars

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees . Lightly grease the insides of 8 straight-sided wide-mouth pint canning jars. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Set aside. Cream shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and beat in well. Add flour alternately with water and mix until smooth. Fold in apples, raisins and nuts. Fill jars 1/2 full of batter, being careful to keep the rims clean. Wipe off any batter that gets on the rims. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. As soon as cake is done, remove from oven one at a time, wipe rims of jars and put on lid and ring. Jars will seal as cakes cool. Place the jars on the counter and listen for them to "ping" as they seal. If you miss the "ping", wait until they are completely cool and press on the top of the lid. If it doesn't move at all, it's sealed. Don't forget to sterilize the lid and rings. Unsealed jars should be eaten or kept in refrigerator for up to a week. Sealed jars can be stored with other canned food for up to a year.

APPLESAUCE CAKE IN A JAR



Applesauce Cake in a Jar image

These make lovely gifts, and the size can be varied (I've made 1/2 pint and pint jars with equal success.) These will keep in the cupboard for up to one year (theoretically!) Depending on the size on your jars, you can either bake them in muffin tins, or use crumpled aluminum foil on a baking sheet to keep them from sliding. Correction: Thanks to the review, I'm redacting the "storing in cupboard" portion of the note. These should be stored in the freezer or consumed immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of apple: Use a firm, tart apple that will hold its shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp.
  • Peel and core the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the jar.
  • Pack the apples tightly into the jar: This will help to prevent them from floating to the top of the cake.
  • Use a toothpick to poke holes in the bottom of the jar: This will help to release steam and prevent the jar from cracking.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cake from drying out.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Apple cake in a jar is a delicious and portable treat that is perfect for parties, picnics, or lunch boxes. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples. With a little planning, you can easily make this cake ahead of time and enjoy it for weeks to come.
