Kinda Healthy German Apple Cake

This makes a lovely snacking cake and because it isn't too indulgent you don't need to feel guilty having a slice for breakfast. If you really like baked apples you'll love this cake.
1/2 C Brown Sugar
1/2 C White Sugar or Splenda
1/2 C Unsweetened applesauce
1 egg + 1 egg white
2 T butter (melted and cooled)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 C Whole wheat flour
1 C AP Flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp cardamom
1tsp anise powder *optional
4 cups apples, peeled and diced or sliced into chips.


• Heat oven to 350. Grease a bundt pan or 9x13 baking pan
• In one bowl combine sugars, eggs, applesauce, butter & vanilla. Mix well.
• In another bowl mix everything else except the apples.
• Incorporate the wet batter into the dry in two batches. Make sure to mix completely.
• Finally, stir in the apples. If you choose to do the slices you'll get a nice cake with baked apple layer effect. If you've done dices it will simply be a chunky cake. 
• Pour into baking dish and bake at 350 50min -1hr until the cake is golden brown. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or with cream cheese frosting.
