2 C all-purpose flour
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 t ground ginger
1 t cinnamon
8 T (1 stick) soft, unsalted butter
1/4 C sugar
1 large egg
2/3 c unsulphured molasses
2/3 C milk
Applesauce Ingredients:
3 pounds McIntosh apples
1/2 cup sugar

Whipped Cream Ingredients:
2 C cream

1 t vanilla extract
2 C toasted pecan pieces, for finishing
1 8-x-8-x-2-inch pan, buttered and the bottom lined with a square of parchment or wax paper
1 2- to 3-quart trifle or other crystal or glass bowl
Directions:
1. For the gingerbread, preheat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the middle level. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices in a mixing bowl and stir well to mix. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, by hand or by machine on medium speed. Beat in egg, and continue beating until smooth. Stir molasses and milk together and add to butter mixture with dry ingredients. Fold batter together with a rubber spatula. Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake gingerbread about 35 to 45 minutes, until well risen and firm in the center. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then unmold to a rack to cool completely.
2. For the applesauce, peel and core the apples and cut coarsely. Place in a pan with a cover with the sugar and water and cook, covered, for 5 minutes, until the apples begin to disintegrate. Uncover and cook until slightly thickened, stirring often. Cool and puree in food processor, or leave chunky if you wish. Makes about 10 to 12 servings in a trifle bowl.
