Applesauce Coffee Cake.

Hello everybody.

As I promised yesterday I made this light easy cake with the applesauce I cooked yesterday,well it is light but maybe needs a bit more sugar. People on diet or have diabetes will love it .

I found many other recipes some even without eggs at all,hopefully will try one of them later on.

Lunch was some leftover mujadara and spinach with cheese pie or pizza and za’tar manousheh .

Dessert was a new recipe,pear crumble cake, I had some ripe pears so they were perfect for this.

* 1 cup sugar.

* 1 stick cinnamon.

* 2 thinly sliced pears.

* 3/4 cup butter.

*2/3 cup sugar.

* 2 eggs.

* 1 1/2 cups flour.

* 2 tsp baking powder.

* 1 tsp vanilla.

* Crumble topping:

* 1/2 cup plain flour.

* 1/3 cup sugar.

* 1/2 cup butter.

* 1/2 cup coconut.
