I rely on applesauce to keep this crowd-pleasing cake tender and moist. The blend of nuts, cranberries and apples complements the subtle hint of wheat flour for terrific taste.-Martha Pollock, Oregonia, Ohio

Cran-Apple Walnut Cake (Lighter Version) image

Found this from Light & Tasty and sounds like a great fall treat. Have not made it yet so can't really say - but I like the sound of it. I'll say more once I get a chance to make it.
