for me the extra step would be going to the store to buy a can of
applesauce and having some of it hang around after I'd used what I
needed. Besides, canned applesauce is kind of like a McDonalds
hamburger. It's called a hamburger but tastes nothing like a real
hamburger.

So you're saying you would cook a bunch of apples to make applesauce
to use in a cake recipe? How often have you done that and how do you
make exactly the amount you need?

I haven't made applesauce cake since I was regularly canning
applesauce. I'd just make a bunch of applesauce any leftovers would
be gone at dinner. I understand why you do what you do. I'd just do
different because I wouldn't even think ever of buying applesauce.
But, I do buy apples. Different strokes. (If ever you would be
considering applesauce along with dinner, I encourage you to try the
MW method.) There's really no recipe. I sugar the apples for sauce
as I would for an apple pie. More or less sugar depending upon how
sweet/tart the apples are. There's no pass or fail. :-)

Definately at the different strokes! Laugh if you will but I use the
crockpot. For me, apple sauce is a leftover use of the steamed apples
with brown sugar and butter at the core.

Thanks, but applesauce as a meal accompaniment is rare to never at my
house. If it has ever happened, I don't recall when at the moment. I
used to make stovetop applesauce in very small quantities when my kids
were babies, but that's about it. The only thing I "can" is an
occasional jam.
