Apple Cake

Whenever Kevin leaves for a work trip I like to stock up on all the necessities before he leaves so that I won't have to do any major shopping while he's gone. This leaves me plenty of time to care for the kids who inevitably get sick anytime their favorite parent leaves the country.

This time around Kevin was super helpful and picked up a bunch of necessities for me, while I at the same time in the same store unknowingly picked up the same necessities. We may have had a bit of a breakdown in communication somewhere there..

Anyway, more food is always better in my book, and when we came home with a thousand apples I knew that the kids and I had some baking in our future.

On a rainy Sunday the kids and I washed peeled and sampled all the apples needed for my mom's Jewish Apple Cake.

We mixed, measured, and baked, then both kids got sick and stopped eating for a few days, so naturally I ate all the cake. Sorry pants.


Here's the recipe for Jewish Apple Cake in case anyone else has apples on their mind.

Ingredients:
6 apples peeled and sliced
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup of sugar/cinnamon mix

Directions:

1. Mix flour, sugar, oil, eggs,orange juice, vanilla, and baking powder
2. Grease and flour a tube pan
3. Spread half the batter into the pan
4. Cover with half the sliced apples
5. Top the apples with half the cinnamon/sugar mix
6. Pour the remaining batter on top
7. Top with apples and the rest of the cinnamon/sugar mix

Bake at 350 for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours

Bon appétit!
