On » Tuesday, February 15, 2011 // In » FOOD AND DINING

Ingredients

(makes 1 full mason jar)

1/2 cup chopped apples
1/2 cup pecans
1/6 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup 1% milk
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.

In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients (butter, egg). Stir the wet ingredients into the dry.

Now add the chopped apples and pecans (or any other ingredient you choose) and mix well.

Spray the jar well and fill the batter into the jar.

Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes.

Let cool before serving.

Remember that the spray & your jar are best friends! If you forget this small step, you could have a disaster on your hands.

Fill the jar almost to the top with the batter.

After a short 30 minutes, you have a super cute and good dessert!

There are so many different recipes for cakes in jars! Feel free to adapt this one by adding your favorite ingredients. The next time you make these you may add some raisins, or chocolate somehow.
