Preheat oven to 325F.

Spray a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish with nonstick spray or butter generously.

Melt butter in a large skillet and add cornmeal.

Then add milk all at once, along with applesauce, apple pie spice and salt.

Stir continuously over med-low heat until mixture thickens (similar to making gravy) and then remove from heat and allow to cool.

Whisk eggs, molasses, sugar, and diced apples in a mixing bowl.

When cornmeal mix has cooled, stir it together with the egg mixture.

Pour mix into the buttered casserole and make at 325F for two hours or until center tests clean with a knife.

Allow to cool.

Rewarm to serve and top with whipped cream, cool whip, or ice cream if you prefer.

Refrigerate unused portions.
