Directions:

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Line the pan with aluminum foil. Make sure to leave some over the edge going all four directions. This will allow you to lift the cake out of the pan when it is ready.
3. Spray foil lightly with vegetable oil spray.
4. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. In large bowl, whisk sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Transfer 2 tablespoons sugar-spice mixture to small bowl and reserve for sprinkling.
6. Add applesauce, melted butter, cider, egg, and vanilla to large bowl with sugar-spice
   mixture and whisk until well combined.
7. Add flour mixture to applesauce mixture and whisk to combine. Use rubber spatula to
   scrape batter into greased baking pan and smooth top.
8. Sprinkle reserved sugar-spice mixture evenly over batter.
9. Place baking pan in oven. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean- about 35 to 40 minutes.

11. Use foil to carefully lift cake out of baking pan and place on cooling rack.
