It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

- #18984

2-5 hrs
ingredients
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup applesauce
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg, optional
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, optional
1 cup chopped walnuts
directions
In bowl cream butter; gradually add sugar to the creamed butter. Thoroughly mix until fluffy. Add applesauce. Sift together all dry ingredients, then add those to the mixture. Add the nuts, and stir well.
Pour cake mixture into wide-mouth canning jars. WARNING: Please use only canning jars that are specially tempered. Do not use cans or other jars that may not be appropriate for this method due to lead content. Or, use a special crock pot baking pan available through Rival Co.
To assure that baked cakes will slip out easily, grease inside of jars well. (Lining bottom of jars with waxed paper also will help.) Cover each jar with a piece of foil greased on one side. Place greased side down and press foil around edges to seal tightly.
Place jars in crock pot with crockery liner in place. Cover; cook on high-heat setting for 2 3/4 to 3 hours or till cakes spring back when touched and a wooden toothpick inserted near the centers comes out clean.
Remove jars from cooker; cool 10 minutes. Unmold cakes; remove waxed paper. Serve warm or cool with whipped topping, if desired.
