Ingredients

  

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup applesauce
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice ( unless the applesauce is tart)

Tips for success

The lemon juice is conditional: leave it out when the applesauce is tart.

FoodSafety.gov specifies 160°F (71°C) as the safe minimum internal temperature for egg dishes. Before serving, check that the filling has reached this temperature; if it has not, continue baking until it does.
