How To Make cranberry applesauce crumb cake
-
1Preheat oven 350. Lightly butter and flour 13x9 baking pan.
-
2Prepare fruit sauce: Combine the applesauce, cranberries, sugar and cinnamon in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over med-hi heat. Simmer, stirring frequently, just until the cranberries begin to pop open, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
-
3Prepare topping: In a mixing bowl, stir the flour with the brown sugar. Using your fingertips or the tines of a fork, quickly work in the butter to form coarse crumbs. Set aside.
-
4Prepare cake batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with mixer on high until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the vanilla.
-
5In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add this to the creamed mixture in batches, alternating with the milk and blend until smooth.
-
6Spread the batter in prepared pan, and spread the cooled cranberry applesauce evenly on top. Sprinkle with the topping; bake until it is bubbling hot and crisp, 40-45 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and cool completely in the pan. Shortly before serving, cut into squares. Unused cake, wrap and refrigerate.
