  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine cake mix, water, oil, egg, and applesauce in a large bowl; stir until just moistened. Spread batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes.
