Here is a great apple dessert. Guaranteed to go quickly.
Fresh Apple Cake...or as I like to call it, Apple Pie Cake
1 1/8 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup egg substitute (or whatever you use to substitute for 3 eggs)
2 tsp vanilla
3 cup flour (I use 1 1/2 wheat pastry flour, 1 cup wheat, and 1/2 cup
defatted soy)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
Preheat oven to 325. Grease a bundt pan (I use no-stick spray, Bev).
Combine applesauce, honey and egg substitute. Beat on medium. Sift
together dry ingredients. Add to wet ingredients on low, until well
combined. Fold in pecans and apples. Bake 1 hour.

This recipe was my grandmother's and it won a blue ribbon in the Dallas,
Texas fair.
Mamaw's Sweet Potato Bread
3 1/2 cup flour (I used 1 1/2 wheat pastry, 1 1/2 wheat, and 1/2 defatted
soy)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
2 1/4 cup honey (or 3 cups sugar or 2 cups fructose)
2/3 cup soy milk (I didn't have any on hand so I used water and it
turned out okay)
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup egg substitute (or whatever you use to substitute for 4 eggs)
2 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
Mix everything together until moist. Grease 2 loaf pans (again, Bev, I
use no-stick spray :-) ) Bake at 325 for 1 hour or until knife comes out
clean.

I got this recipe out of the Natural Shopper which I get for free at my
local HFS.
Aztec Couscous
1 cup whole wheat couscous
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1 3/4 cup cooked black beans, drained or 1 15 oz. can, drained
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
1/4 cup finely minced cilantro
1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and minced
3 - 4 tsp lime juice (I didn't have any so I used Ume Plum vinegar)
Place couscous, salt and cumin in large glass bowl. Pour 1 cup boiling
water into bowl. Cover tightly and let sit until all liquid is absorbed,
8-10 min. If it is still chewy, add another 1/4 cup boiling water and let
sit, covered, for 5 min. Stir in beans, corn, onion, cilantro, and
jalapeno. Add enough lime juice to make it puckery. Serve warm or at
room temperature with corn chips or in whole wheat tortillas.
Enjoy!
