1 cup applesauce (e.g. Mott's Natural Applesauce)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup (packed) brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 tablespoon (or to taste/optional) confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Combine applesauce, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl.
Add flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with buttermilk just until batter is moistened. Fold coconut and walnuts into batter. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Dust with confectioners' sugar.
