Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees with the rack in the center. Grease a pie pan and line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. In a separate bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer at high speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, then beat in the applesauce. Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture. Then stir in chopped walnuts (if using). The batter will appear slightly thick and uneven. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
