In a couple of days (June 6th to be exact) It'll be Applesauce Cake Day.  Since it's also the anniversary of D-Day, here's a recipe from tasteofhome.com to make in advance and let sit so the flavors develop - if you can keep your family's hands off of it, that is!
 
This moist applesauce cake recipe is a treasured heirloom passed down from a grandma who cooked for a family of 13 during the Depression. At reunions, it's the first dessert gone...including the crumbs!
