Submitted by foodtvfan

"An easy to make from scratch applesauce dump cake. You can mix it in the baking pan or in a bowl if you prefer. Optional serving suggestions are included. The spiced dusting sugar is also good on French toast. I often double the dusting sugar recipe to keep it on hand for other desserts."

Nice change for dessert! I used 1/2 cup raisins, just cause we really like them. I realized *after* it was in the oven that I didn't have any icing sugar to make the topping, but it was still pretty good without it! I'm gonna go have my second piece now :D
