Do you want to have the genuine "Cassette Applesoft" on cassette?  Or
would you be satisfied with a version of disk-based Applesoft?  If the
latter would work, you could dig up a DOS 3.3 System Master, load the
FPBASIC image at the appropriate address, and spool that to tape.

Note that there are differences between the disk-based and cassette-based
Applesoft.  Off hand, I recall...

o Cassette Applesoft does not support HPLOT x,y TO x1,y1 TO x2,y2 TO x3,y3
o Re-entry from Monitor using *0G under Cassette Applesoft, vs. *3D0G under
  disk-based Applesoft

I'm sure that there are others (maybe I should dig up that old "Applesoft
Tutorial" book...), but I have never worked with a cassette-based Apple. 
Although the ][e cassette port has got me out of trouble more than once
(that's the trouble with fooling around with the screen holes from BASIC...)
