To Die For Apple Cinnamon Cake

1. Add to a large bowl the applesauce, vanilla, and both of the eggs. Mix until the eggs are fully incorporated.

2. Next add the flour, baking soda, turbinado, and cinnamon. Carefully mix all of the ingredients together.

3. In a separate bowl add 3/4 C of the cinnamon chips, reserving the rest for the topping. Toss them with 2 T whole grain flour. This helps them so they don't all sink to the bottom and are evenly dispersed throughout the batter.

4. Fold in the cinnamon chips.

5. Pour batter into baking dish. Top with the cinnamon sugar topping mixture and remaining cinnamon chips. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

** I found the cinnamon chips at Harmon's
