How to Make Aeblekage Danish Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Generously butter a 1 1/2-quart ovenproof dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. In the prepared baking dish, create alternating layers of 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs and the applesauce mixture, ensuring the top layer is breadcrumbs.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup melted margarine evenly over the top layer of breadcrumbs.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center – it should come out clean.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving warm, topped with generous dollops of whipped cream.
