Pecan Applesauce Cake #NationalPecanDay

Pecan Applesauce Cake flavored with warm spices, moist cake with bits of pecans in every bite.

It’s National Pecan Day!

Festive Foodies are celebrating with this tasty nut.
Pecans are one of my favorite nuts. Heart healthy pecans contain more than 19 vitamins and minerals – including vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.

Come to think of it, I could eat a slice of pecan pie.

Since I don’t have pecan pie I made this Pecan Applesauce Cake.

Using applesauce makes it easy to bake this cake anytime of year. Warm spices like cinnamon go so well with pecans and apples.

Yum
