What do you get when you cross apples with flour, oil, eggs, sugar and spice? This kosher parve Apple Cake recipe from Ohio caterers Paula Levine Weinstein and Julie Komerofsky Remer. Julie says this recipe is by far their customers' favorite dessert.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup cooking oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2-3 apples, sliced
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Preparation:

1. Place all ingredients (except apples, cinnamon and 3/4 cup sugar) in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
2. Pour half the batter into a greased tube pan with a removable bottom.
3. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
4. Arrange half the apples, then sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar.
5. Repeat layer.
6. Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) for 90 minutes. Since ovens differ, be sure to test the cake with a cake tester or knife and to bake until it comes out clean. In some ovens this cake takes close to 2 hours to bake.

VARIATION: Put half of the apples, sugar and cinnamon in the middle of the cake and the other half on top of the cake.

Amazing!, Member meiraher

I have been meaning to leave positive feedback for a while now, since I have used this recipe on several occasions! It has always turned out delicious and my Shabbat guests gobble it up. I follow the recipe to the letter, except I like to add lemon juice and some lemon zest to boost the taste (and since I hardly ever have OJ on hand). If I am short on time, I will just toss the apples in my food processor and mix it all in. Thanks again for the fabulous recipe.
