Servings: persons

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup sorghum molasses
1 egg, beaten
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3 -4 cups applesauce, homemade is best (sweet, thick, chunky, spiced)

1
Cream shortening with molasses in very large bowl, then add in one beaten egg.
2
Mix all dry ingredients adding milk in as you mix. Add Vanilla. Beat to a stiff dough.
3
Flour your counter and lightly flour your rolling pin. Roll out to thickness of pie dough. (VERY THIN) This dough will make 9-10 layers.
4
Cut out your circles with a scalloped pie pan. Place rounds of dough on a cookie sheet (I line it with wax paper) 2 at a time. And bake 12 minutes at 350u00b0F.
5
After all rounds are baked, put layers together with a homemade or sweet flavored applesauce.
6
Let set before serving. Great also warm with vanilla ice cream.
7
My time chart is if you also made your own applesauce (peeling coring etc.).
