Remember the episode when Elizabeth was trying to learn all of the recipes of grandma ‘s. There was one particular cake she just couldn’t get right. I think she had tried at least three times. Grandma finally revealed the one ingredient she left out. It was the recipe as was referred from the steel of the Baldwin ladies. That was a good one!

This one brought tears to my eyes. We watched this show as a family and now so many of those that I cherished & loved so much are gone. Thank you for this recipe & beautiful memory. I will cherish it and pass it on to our daughter and think of all those we have waiting on us in Heaven to rejoice with one day. Blessings ya'll! ✝️💕

Oh yes , I'm 56 gonna be 57 yr old And watched The Waltons & Little house on the Prairie, plus my children loved watching them all , My daughter loved them so much ! 1 year we bought the VHS 📼 WHOLE SET - like all 20 episodes in each series . Oh she was so happy As was. I. Thank you for these wonderful memories. Mrs Josette- Montgomery County, Texas 🙏 .

I still watch the Waltons, Andy, and Little House every day.

The Baldwin Sisters contributed to the icing recipe with their daddy's recipe... thank you for taking us back to great times.. The Walton's

I've recently been watching The Waltons on Utube and I love it more now that I'm older than when I did as a teen.... I just watched the episode where Grandma was teaching Elizabeth to cook the cake and finally telling her the secret ingredient was a little of THE RECIPE from the Baldwin sisters! Shocked me and gave me a belly laugh coming from Grandma!

Hello Ms. Lori and Mr. Brown. The Walton's hold fond memories for me as a young girl. My Grandmother loved John Boy. She would always say, He's such a handsome young man. Those shows need to come back on TV.

To this day, I still have vivid dreams about The Walton's house. I am the youngest of 8 kids. We would all do the goodnight call to each other. I miss those days. But I have been watching your videos and I just gotta say that I want to come hang out at your house !!! 😊 God bless you for keeping the old ways and recipes alive.♥️

I loved watching the Waltons and little house on the Prairie, many memories with my mom and dad watching. We weren't a real close family but those 2 nights, monday and Thursday, we all sat together.

I saw Judy Norton (Mary Ellen) make Olivia’s Apple sauce cake, two weeks ago on her KZfaq channel. It sounds delicious 😋 I’m happy you’re sharing the “RECIPE” lol

If Mr. Brown ever wants to retire from being the taste tester, I want the job!! I loved the Walton's! I always said my family is like the Walton's So I am very blessed. My prayers are going up for all in need, and for those that can't. Have a great week!

Howdy folks, I'm your neighbor over here in Oklahoma. When I was in high school, I started to make an applesauce cake from a recipe from the side of our bag of Shawnee Flour. My daddy loved it so much! He used to say, "Sis, will you make me one of your apple sauce cakes today?" That was in the mid-seventies. Daddy died my sophomore year. I'd give anything to hear him ask me to make it for him again. I can't remember the recipe, and I can't find it. I do think it was quite a bit like this one. I made it in a bundt pan. It had a glaze rather than frosting. Thanks for posting this. I am going to give it a try!

Thank you, Miss Lori, for sharing the recipe and reminiscing about the Waltons. I watched the series until the final episode. I cried when Will Geer who played Grandpa, passed on. Those were such wonderful shows.

This is awesome!!! This is the cake Olivia made for Christmas on the very first Walton movie before the Series began!!! Patricia Neal played Olivia in this movie!!! I think she had to walk to Ikes store to get some sugar to make the cake and the kids were cracking nuts out in the barn for the cake!!! Good memories for sure!!! I just love your vintage kitchen!!! Reminds me of my Grandparents cozy kitchen where Grandma spent hours cooking on an old wood stove!!! I made a banana cake with cinnamon this am and decided to make a brown sugar icing...It was like fudge by the time I was done with it!!! Tasted great!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!! God Bless🙏

My absolutely favorite show! It was a show filled with family values. As a child, my parents dictated what was on the tv for us to watch!! Olivia and JohnBoy were my favorites. Ty so much for the Applesauce Cake recipe.

I grew up watching the show… And I still do given the opportunity. I too wanted a slice of that apple sauce cake. Now that I'm 60 I'm gonna make one for me.!

Me and my girls love watching the Walton’s ❤️ one of my favorite episodes is when grandma gets jealous of that statue that grandpa wins from a raffle ticket 🤣

I am also a huge fan of the Walton's. In my mind it was the best tv series ever made. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Can't wait to try it. :)

Good morning Mrs lori & Mr.Brown- Today is celebrated for Memorial day - But truthfully its on the 30th of May . Today is May 29th 2023. I just had to re-watch your Waltons Cake content again . You bring me peace at this time in my life . I loved the waltons and wish you both a blessed week. God bless you & Thank you for having so many videos for us to watch . We havent had TV in over 7 years . So having you both is a blessing to learn & remember my childhood also. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏mrs Josette Tharp Texas

I was born in 1968 and I used to watch the Waltons, Gunsmoke, petticoat junction, Beverly hillbillies, green acres, lassie, f troop, little house on the prairie, bonanza, big valley and the list goes on. 😄

My grandmother (from Cherry Valley, AR) always made this cake but added candy orange slices. She made it in a bundt pan too. It always reminds me of her and of Christmas!

The Waltons have been my favorite 😍 Ive watched the reruns so many times. Especially in the times we are in now. It just comforts me so much. Your cake sounds so good😊

All I ever watch on TV is the old shows... The Waltons are on right now in Hawaii!!! I used to live in Walton, Oregon!! Love you!!! 💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕

I watch the Walton's any time I can find them on tv. I love watching you and Mr. Brown more though, you two remind me of home growing up. You are so sweet and loving it touches my heart. God Bless both of you ! Gloria from north east Ohio

I love seeing this recipe. I remember when she talked about it, and I believe Grandma snuck in some of the recipe. This was such a fun one to watch. Thanks!

You are so good at taking me back to my childhood! Being originally from Virginia it really takes me home! My mom always made an applesauce cake and a hermit cake at Thanksgiving and Christmas! The house always had the most incredible fragrances of the various spices. Mom actually put just a tidge of bourbon in her applesauce cake. The alcohol would cook off but the flavor was delicious! Thanks for another warm jog to my memory!!!

The Baldwin sisters “special recipe”, that Grandpa would stop off at the sisters home and have some of the recipe. Stilllove watching The Waltons.

When our kiddos were young we always watched The Walton’s. Such a wonder show. Families! So important. This cake sounds yummy and old fashioned cake. I’m going to make this real soon. With things so uncertain these days I do know that our Heavenly Father is in control. He’s never surprised or shocked. I love the old hymn, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.” Thank you Lori for sharing.❤️✝️🙏🌹

Well…. Cannot get it to stream… but KNOW I’m going to love this!!!!! Such a fan of that beautiful series. I was married in ‘76 (of course the hubs is named John) - had 8 kids and couldn’t wait to get the long dining table with benches for the kids. Thanks for posting…. Looking forward to this 😊👍🏻. Prayers continue for dear Miss Vickie and her family.

I will definitely make this cake.. I love the Waltons and we still watch it everyday! ❤️

The Walton's was a favorite of my mother and we had everything finished on Thursday night so we could watch the show. My husband and I lived south of Schuyler, Virginia when he preached in Chatham, VA. The Hamner house is located between Altavista and Charlottesville, VA. A little girl with red, who is grown now, went to church camp when we worked there. Her name was Skyler Hamner and I wondered if she was a part of the Earl Hamner family. This cooking episode brings back good memories of my momma and serving the Lord in Southside, VA.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...I fell off the couch laughing. Mr.Brown hanging out in the kitchen was just just like my Grandpa back in the 70's. He drove my Grandma crazy until she got smart and put him to work in the kitchen. My Grandma was making this cake long before the Waltons were ever on T.V. When I was as a kid we only got one T.V. channel and we had many of the programs you mentioned. The station sgined off at midnight and didn't come back on until 6 am. Oh what great memories you've brought back to me. Thank you, bless you both.

My grandma had this recipe since the depression too! The only difference is we don't include eggs. I think there was a shortage at the time. It's my all time favorite cake.

I loved the Walton’s. Reminded me of my granddaddy and grandma’s family. Thank you for sharing recipe and stories!

I lived the same type of life but with more animals than they had. Mom & us kids lived with Grandma & Grandpa. And a few blocks away my Great Grandparents had their farm too. We farmed both farms with a small 35 h.p. tractor. Fantastic childhood.

My mom loved the Waltons. She used to tell me to marry a guy like John Boy. 🤣❤️🤣 We teased her about John Boy. And the man I married was nothing like him 🤣 but he still had a good heart. So you brought back sweet memories for me again. Thank you ❤️🙏🏼✝️🇺🇸☮️❤️🫶🏼 Keep the faith we are praying for your friend.

That looks yummy. Guess I need to add applesauce to my grocery list. Thank you for sharing this and all of your other videos. BTW your meatloaf was wonderful. My 91 yr old dad said it tasted just like his grannie's.

I Loved the Walton's My parents both grew up during "The Great Depression" My mom made applesauce cake and we all loved it .Thank you So much for this recipe! The kitchen smells So good when baking!! I agree it is definitely a fall cake!! I think a caramel frosting might taste good on this,too! God Bless both of you!!🙂❤️

I grew up watching The Waltons and many years later I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Waite and Ms. Learned while they were here to do a play together called Love Letters not long before Mr. Waite died. They were both very kind and gracious with their time and comments and it will always remain a highlight of my life.

Wish I were your neighbor . You are living the life I always dreamed of with the front porch. I was born and raised in Los Angeles but was a country gal at heart. Love and Blessings. Going to make the cake right now.

Hi Miss Lori, I recently made a purchase of the Hoosier Farm Products. Thank you for showing them to us during your Cinnamon roll video. Their products are Amazing! Id never heard of Powdered Butter..or Powdered Heavy cream or even sour cream. I was excited to receive my packages. We love ya sister. Stay strong..stay true. Sending you hugs. Blessings from S.Central MO❤🌻

I saw Ms Judy Norton ( Mary Ellen) make this Apple Sauce Cake on her channel "Behind The Scene of The Waltons" a couple of weeks ago. So yummy. I love the old Waltons reruns. Thank you Ms Lori for sharing this too. As soon as my broken arm gets better I will definitely be making this. May God bless and keep you both.

I love the Waltons I watch it regularly applesauce cake man my grandmother made it often delicious 😋 my friend and prayers for miss Vicki 🙏 ❤ for her missing daughter my heart bleeds for her

I still watch the Waltons frequently and really enjoy it. I'm thinking we are about the same age.......Thanks so much

Miss Lori ---so happy you have made this... I have been watching The Homecoming every year for the holidays since the year it came out. That is such a wonderful holiday movie. Always wanted to have this cake! The Waltons was always watched in our house!

Your videos are always like medicine for the soul. Thank you for always making the day just that much brighter. ♥

This was wonderful. I’m going to make this too. Please keep enjoying each other. My husband passed to Heaven 7 months ago. He was a great man, a wonderful husband, and a pastor. He was 77, had cancer. But, I will see him again. Your videos keep me company. Thank you.

The Walton's were always a big part of my childhood. Mom loved and my grandmother loved it even more than that. Such a great show with so many lessons that are real and very relevant for today. Thank you so much!

This looks delicious. I loved the Waltons too. Simple life. Thanks!

I'm so happy to see you here with new recipe. Yes The waltons. I was a teenager when it was aired. I absolutely loved the program my grandmother lived through the depression and she could relate to everything. We actually need more shows like the Walton's so to teach young people. Good to get back to basics.

I'm 42 and I grew up on the waltons, I loved the show. I can remember when I was little and my brother was still at home some times when we started to go to bed we'd all tell each other good night. I was quiet for a moment and I would yell out " good night John boy lol and we'd tell each other good night the way they did on the show. I too grew up on Hee Haw, Dukes of hazzard, Dynasty, Gilligan's island those were the best old days. What I'd give to have them back and have my mom,daddy, sister, brother and my grandparents back. At least I can dream of being back in my old home with them.

Thank you Mrs. Lori!! It's as if you read my heart❤. A week or two ago I watched a Walton's episode. John boy was out on one of his travels, and Olivia wanted to make sure she had an applesauce cake for him when he came back home. I searched through my OLD church and community cookbooks for a recipe. They varied so much I gave up, but I had a delightful afternoon reading. I am going to give your recipe a try. Thanks again!

I have not made an applesauce cake in years. Your recipe is a lot like the one I have from my grandmother, minus the whiskey lol. I will have to try making one again. It used to be a Christmas tradition growing up. Someone always brought the applesauce cake :)

That Apple Sauce Cake looks delicious...!! I loved watching The Waltons too. I remember the two older sisters that made " Papa's recipe ". 😉😄 lol !! I don't think Olivia Walton like that they made moonshine too much either. Haha!! I remember sitting on my grandmama's bed with my cousin's and we would watch The Waltons. I also remember spending the night with my other grandparent's. My sister and I would sleep with our Granny. My Pawpaw slept in the bedroom with my uncle ( my uncle was only 3 yrs. older than me) and my aunt slept in her bedroom. All of sudden we'd start hollering across the hall from each other......good night Jonh Boy....good night May Ellen. We'd just laugh and laugh. Hahaha..!!! 😄😄😄 That brings back some good memories. 🥰🥰❤❤

Oh yes, Miss Emily and Miss Mamie!! The recipe. I still watch THE WALTONS.

Looks so good I have homemade applesauce and black walnuts in the freezer. Going to make this very soon.

I loved the Waltons, still do. I will make that cake. I did make your blackberry jam cake. It was delicious and my grandchildren loved it. Thank you

The Walton's was one of my favorite shows.loved when they would say good night to each other at the end.God Bless

I still watch the Waltons. I love it and like yourself I also wish I could have lived in that big old house. I want to live in yours. Love you guys,

Thank you Miss Lori. Confession time. I've been making your prune spice cake with applesauce. I love the walnuts and raisins in this one! Love and blessings! 💜

When I was pregnant with my 3rd, this show would give me such comfort watching it and settled my nausea. Thank you for doing the applesauce cake!

My mom has a cake and catering business. She makes her vanilla from vodka and whole vanilla beans. I also enjoy watching the Walton's. The sisters used to make most of the liquor on the mountain. I live Andy Griffith. They sadly don't make shows like that anymore. The best!!!!

Grandma said just a smidge grandpa will never know. I watched the Waltons everyday all day during the pandemic.

Had to be the “sisters special sauce” on the bourbon.

I love your KZfaq channel i found it last year when i was diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time. And I love The Waltons, and all the old TV shows you mentioned. My heart aches for the simple times.🎶Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days🎶

I remember thinking how nice it must’ve been to have a momma and grandparents and all those siblings. Every Saturday I looked forward to watching that show.

Looks absolutely wonderful. I grew up watching the Walton's too and Hee Haw and others in our era. So, in the spirit of the Walton's; Good night Miss Lori, Good night Mr Brown, Good night John Boy. 😊❣️💕

I was excited for this video! The Waltons is my all time favorite show. My favorite episode is when Ester comes home after having her stroke. I cry every time I watch that episode. My second favorite is where Zeb and Ester are at odds about tearing down the old Whitley house in town. That house is where they first courted and in the end grandpa rescued the stain glass window and installed it in their bedroom. Although it is a sad episode, my third favorite is when John-boy wins a journalist contest and gets to go to New Jersey to report about the Hindenburg and it crashes. I love history so appreciated the real footage from the crash that they used in the episode.

I'm 47, didn't grow up watching the Waltons at all but in my adult life I have absolutely loved it. I just saw the episode a few weeks ago. They were going to enter the cake into a contest. Grandma knew that another woman who often won used the bourbon in her icing. She told Livy she could sneak a capful or two from Grandpa stash that he didn't think she knew about. They sneaked it and Grandpa knew. She was sniffing her breath for a sign. Lol

I love the Walton's family I believe they had 7 children remind me of our family my mother had seven children to very good show The recipe sounds delicious I will make this thank you for sharing

Love your -remodled kitchen, may be small, but is beautiful. Mr Brown did a great job, for his lovely wife. Love to watch you cook, I've learned so much. I watch everyday.reminds me of my hardworking Mama on our tobacco farm in NC. She was a great cook also

I LOVE WATCHING THE WALTON'S,I KEEP THEM ON MY DVR SO I CAN WATCH THEM ANYTIME.THAT CAKE LOOKED DELICIOUS,GOD BLESS Y'ALL AND STAY SAFE

I Love y’all SO MUCH! Mr. Brown is so adorable 🥰 with how he Loves you. Thank you so much Ms. Lori. I pray y’all didn’t get too much rain yesterday.

I am 73 and I still watch the reruns. I lived a life like the Waltons and it takes me back to that simple and fun life. A wonderful time in that life.

My daughter and I have watched every one of the Walton shows.She started watching with me when she was three years old and she just loved it (along with Little House on the Prairie)..one show was on Tuesday and the other was on Thursday. I always thought to live like the Waltons would be so much fun and Grandpa was my favorite character..I liked when he would get Grandma riled up...The applesauce cake would be a great addition to a holiday brunch or at a ladies church function. I think one of the tv channels has The Waltons on around noon time, but I don't watch much television anymore..life has me too busy these days. Good to see the "taste tester" back in the kitchen! Mr. Brown is a keeper, for sure. Thanks again, Ms. Lori, for another historical recipe...have a great week❣️

My favorite Waltons memory is watching the movie "The Homecoming". They were waiting for dad to make it home for Christmas through a terrible snow storm the days before Christmas. Patricia Neal played Olivia. I thought she was AWESOME, I really liked her as the mother. Throughout the movie, she was always taking about making her famous Applesauce Cake. I'd love to have a piece of your cake, Ms. Lori...

Watched All the same shows. We loved The Walton's best.

Was always and still is my favorite TV show. I actually still watch when I can at 12 noon Monday thru Friday. We own every DVD. Made. I always dreamed of living in that house. They have a bed and breakfast there and hope to visit. Thanks for sharing!

The Baldwin sisters ,and the recipe,as they called their whiskey ,,still love watching that show ,,big hugs ,hope you get some rain 💖💖

Funny, I’ve been binge watching the Waltons - each time I watch it, I get another perspective from it. Enjoy it completely

My Favorite show. I watch it every day. Comes on at 11:00 AM lunch and Walton's.

I loved all those shows. I was born in 1963. I loved the house. For awhile we had rotary phone and 3 tv channels and the tv antenna and a record player. My grandma Dad’s mom had a tv with radio and record player and I sure thought we needed that tv. Cake looks delicious, Ps Dragnet was my all time favorite tv show and still us. Seen heehaw and Lawrence welk because my parents watched it.

Miss Lori, I love this cake and your fond memories watching the Walton in your childhood me to, to all of it. God Bless you and Mr. Brown the great fly killer.

I still re-watch the walton's too ! The Baldwin sisters probably provided the bourbon. Good night miss Lorie ! Good night Mr. Brown !

I loved the Walton's when I was growing up, too. I wanted to be a writer like John Boy. So much to love about that old show. Thank God those old shows are still available cause the shows they have nowadays don't have a moral to the stories. Hard to find morals anywhere on this earth, I'm afraid. Like you said, "take care of yourself, take care of your own, it'll be alright."

I loved the Walton’s too. I had a little 10-12 black and white TV in my bedroom and would watch on it mostly. I had the biggest crush on Jon Boy. 😊. I used to be so invested in the series and when the Characters started to die it was heartbreaking.

We eat Olivia Walton's applesauce cake at least twice a month, usually for breakfast. Visiting "Walton's Mountain" a few years ago was a highlight of my life. It did not disappoint!

Hi there , I Live in Australia 🇦🇺 . I grew up loving and watching The Walton’s as well & little house on the Prairie with the Ingles my favourite’s were John- boy , Elizabeth the grandparents & mr & Mrs Walton & all of the ingles too & I especially loved all the good nights at the end of the show .😉 it always made me feel peaceful . Wish we would get it brought back to tv over here again . It would be great for this generation of children to tech them old fashion Morals & hospitality towards those you love and your neighbours . Instead of the violence that goes on these days 😔😒, god bless you all . Thanks for sharing your great knowledge the way you do . Today I’m going to bake your cinnamon Scrolls 🙏😌😋🤤 they looked amazing 🤩

I too loved the Waltons. I always wanted to live with them also. We didn't have an actual farm, but we always lived in the country and raised a garden and our own meat. Dad always hunted. We watched all those shows you mentioned too. Plus right after we got home from school we would watch Gilligan's Island. God Bless!

The Daltons is my favorite show I never missed an episode. God bless you both

Me. Too. Love. Them. People. I. Watch. It. Avery. Day. God. Bless. Y'all. Love. Yall

My Grandma passed away watching the Waltons. She was only 72, sitting in Her recliner. My Grandpa was reading the paper. He looked over and she was gone. While it was sad, what a calm way to meet the Lord. The cake looks good, can almost smell it from here.

My husband & I watch the Walton's every weekday on the INSP channel. Husband had never seen the show, as he was raised in a house without TV here in Arkansas. Now he is addicted to the program.. lol I think it is because he was the baby of 9... and can relate to much of the shinandigans that happen... haha. Love your home-cooking & you remind me of food that I used to make years ago.

I remember watching the Christmas Waltons. One of my favorite shows.❤ I rather live those days than we’re living in today

I AM WITH YOU WALTONS TAKES YOU BACK TO THE GOOD OLE DAYS,,, PRAYERS FOR YOUR FRIEND WHOSE DAUGHTER IS MISSING.

I'm 42 and Still LOVE The Waltons so much. Little House on the Prairie, Anne of Green Gables, & Andy Griffith too! I raised my daughter on those shows & at 22 loves them as much as me. Thanks for sharing this so much💗 Can you do recipes from those shows too please? It'd be super fun😊

I have all the Waltons episodes on dvd and still watch them, also Little House on the prairie! One of my favorite episodes is when Grandma's friend bequeathed her $250 and promised $50 to be used for a new church roof. She never got the money, but everyone pitched in to repair the roof instead. I willl have to try this cake, thank you for sharing the recipe!

I can’t wait to make this! Looks absolutely delicious! I grew up watching the Walton’s too! And HeeHaw, Gunsmoke, Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie! We absolutely loved the Walton’s! I always wanted to live on Walton’s Mountain! Sometimes in our house, we would head to bed, and say, “ Goodnight John Boy, Goodnight Maryellen” to each other!

I remember that episode of the Walton's where Olivia and Grandma was in the kitchen cooking and it was grandma's idea for Olivia to use just a little bit of grandpa's whiskey for the icing . So it would give her cake that special touch.
