2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon apple pie spice*
1 cup applesauce
2/3 cup dairy sour cream
1/3 cup molasses
1 egg, beaten
Cake:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup sour milk**
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups Pillsbury BESTŪ All Purpose, Unbleached or Self Rising Flour***
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

In medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and apple pie spice; mix well. Stir in remaining filling ingredients; blend well. Set aside.
In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and margarine; beat until well blended. Beat in sour milk, 1 egg and vanilla. (Mixture will look curdled.) Lightly
spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; mix well. Spoon into crust-lined pan. Carefully pour filling mixture over batter.

** To make sour milk, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice to 1/2 cup milk; let stand 5 minutes.
