Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You’ll want to get this done first so the oven is ready when the batter is mixed. In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use a whisk to mix everything until it’s creamy and well-blended, and the sugars have started to dissolve into the liquid. At this point, the smell of the applesauce might just start to draw you in!
