Cooking this Applesauce Oat Cake in a bundt pan makes the presentation a little more memorable but if you do not have one, a 9 x 9 baking dish works great as well. Also, know that you can customize this recipe by adding in your favorite flavors that go with apples and cinnamon. Some of our favorites are raisins, walnuts, pecans, or even a little bit of pureed canned pumpkin. For this recipe, we kept it plain and simple but the possibilities are endless.
