Ingredients:





   1/2 c  Butter or margarine


     1 c  Brown sugar


     1 c  Applesauce


 2 1/2 c  Flour


   1/2 ts Baking soda


   1/2 ts Salt


     1 ts Baking powder


   1/2 ts Cinnamon


   1/2 ts Ground cloves


   1/4 ts Nutmeg; opt


   1/4 ts Allspice; opt


     1 c  Walnuts; chop






 In bowl cream butter; gradually add sugar to the creamed butter. Thoroughly


 mix until fluffy. Add applesauce. Sift together all dry ingredients, then


 add those to the mixture. Add the nuts, and stir well. Pour cake mixture


 into wide-mouth canning jars. WARNING: Please use only canning jars that


 are specially tempered. Do not use cans or other jars that may not be


 appropriate for this method due to lead content. Or, use a special crockpot


 baking pan available thruough Rival Co. To assure that baked cakes will


 slip out easily, grease inside of jars well. (Lining bottom of jars with


 waxed paper also will help.) Cover each jar with a piece of foil greased on


 one side. Place greased side down and press foil around edges to seal


 tightly. Place jars in crockpot with crockery liner in place. Cover; cook


 on high-heat setting for 2 3/4 to 3 hours or till cakes spring back when


 touched and a wooden tothpick inserted near the centers comes out clean.


 Remove jars from cooker; cool 10 minutes. Unmold cakes; remove waxed paper.


 Serve warm or cool with whipped topping, if desired.
