Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8x8x2-inch square baking pan with Reynolds® Parchment Paper* for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and allspice. Set the dry ingredients aside.
In a separate medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until combined. Mix in applesauce and vanilla extract. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture. Stir in the diced apple and peanut butter pieces until evenly distributed. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures the cake is fully cooked.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a wire rack to cool completely. Using the parchment paper, transfer the cooled cake to a cutting board for easy slicing.
Drizzle the cooled cake generously with the prepared Peanut Butter Glaze. Allow the glaze to set completely before slicing and serving the cake.
To prepare the Peanut Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, stir together 2/3 cup powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, and 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve a thick, yet drizzling consistency for the glaze.
