Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and spices. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together applesauce, milk, oil, molasses, and vanilla together until well-combined.
Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until combined.
Pour batter into an 8x11-inch (shallow 2 quart), or similarly sized, baking dish.
In a separate bowl, stir sugars and cinnamon together.
Sprinkle topping evenly over the batter.
Pour apple cider and water over the topping. DO NOT STIR!
Bake for 40 minutes, or until middle is set.
Cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Molasses
- I like to use robust molasses for stronger flavor, but regular molasses or mild molasses will also work.
Unsweetened applesauce
- The applesauce should be a smooth puree, not a chunkier sauce.
Vegetable oil
- A similar neutral oil, like canola or even olive oil, will work.
Milk
- Any milk - skim to whole - will work.
Brown sugar
- Light or dark brown sugar will work.
Apple cider
- Either refrigerated fresh cider or bottled shelf-stable apple cider will work. I try to use fresh cider when available.
