Jewish Apple Cake

Our Relief Society Christmas dinner is going to have a sort of Middle Eastern theme. The presidency is going to bring the desserts, and I luckily found this Cupboard Project recipe that wasn't too bizarre and fit the theme perfectly.

I made this test cake to make sure it would be okay enough to take to a church event. 


Jewish Apple Cake
6-7 medium apples
2 t cinnamon
5 T sugar
1 c butter
2 c sugar
3 c flour
1/2 c orange juice
4 eggs
3 t baking powder (may use 1 T, but results may vary)
2 1/2 t vanilla

Peel, quarter and cut apples in slices. Mix with cinnamon and 5 T sugar. Set aside. Cream together butter and 2 c sugar. Add 1/2 of flour, 1/2 of juice, 2 eggs, baking powder and vanilla. Mix well. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Fold in apples. Spoon into greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool and serve. Makes 2-24 servings.

I'm not sure what 2- 24 servings means. Between 2-24 servings or 2 x 24 servings? 

We thought it was good. It was very moist (I subbed a little applesauce in for oil) and had a nice cinnamon apple/cinnamon flavor. It was a good thing I made a test batch. Now I know not to use the bundt pan if I'm going to serve it to others.

  1. Bundt pans are so tricky. This sounds good. Maybe I'll make it for our ward Christmas party that I need to take a dessert to.
