Preparation / Directions:
* Have ice cream slightly softened. Use only a very good quality applesauce that is not too thin.
1. Line a greased 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly-roll pan with waxed paper; grease paper.
2. Place eggs in a mixing bowl; beat at high speed for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar and 1/2 cup applesauce.
3. Sift flour, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together. Blend flour mixture into egg mixture, using low speed. Spread batter in pan.
4. Bake in preheated 375-degree oven for 15 minutes or until cake is lightly browned and springs back when pressed gently. Sprinkle kitchen towel with powdered sugar; immediately invert cake onto towel.
5. Remove waxed paper; roll cake and towel together from narrow end. Let cake completely cool.
6. Unroll cake, trimming edges if desired. Remove from towel and spread with softened ice cream; re-roll. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and freeze.
7. Blend remaining 1-1/2 cups applesauce and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Chill. When ready to serve, cut roll into slices and top each slice with chilled applesauce. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
