Applesauce, fresh pears, cinnamon and spices make the perfect breakfast cake, snack or dessert.
Put this simple cake on your Must Bake list.
With everyday ingredients, you can make the batter in just 20 minutes.
Although the photo shows all purpose flour, I have used a gluten free flour mix with excellent results.
For dairy free, simply sub vegan butter.
No loaf pan? No problem!
Make Applesauce Pear Cake in muffin tins or double the recipe with two round cake pans to make a decadent layer cake.
Variety’s the spice of life! Sub pears for berries, shredded carrots, nuts or toasted oats.
Different toppings = different cake:
DUSTED: powdered sugar
GLAZED: powdered sugar + lemon juice
FROSTED: butter or cream cheese frosting
DOLLOPED: whipped cream and fresh berries

I made this a few days ago and used a simple orange juice glaze. It was a huge hit! I am making it again today along with a dinner to take to my sister tomorrow . My 87 year old mom lives with my sister and brother in law and she is being discharged from Rehab therapy in the morning. I think this will be greatly appreciated and encourage my mom to eat
Karen- I am so happy that you found this recipe and made it work for you. That’s the sign of a creative and enthusiastic baker! Hope your mom enjoys your cake and feels better soon. Keep baking‼️
I made this a few weeks ago to use up some homemade applesauce.
It was absolutely delicious!!!
The flavor and texture was a hit. I was out of powdered sugar. So I substituted a honey drizzle and sprinkling of refined sugar as it came out of the oven.
I plan to make it again for our Christmas morning with coffee and tea this year. This time with the powdered sugar/cream glaze…because, come on!
Hey Dusten,
Thank you for the awesome feedback!

and am thriled you are making the recipe your way!
Keep baking and Happy Holidays. 🙂 Dana
