MOM'S JEWISH APPLE CAKE RECIPE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Grease and flour tube pan.
- Peel, core, and cut apples into 12 thick slices each. Place in a bowl, sprinkle over about one-third of the cinnamon sugar mixture, and toss together with your hands.
- Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl (except apples and cinnamon sugar mixture) and mix together until the batter is smooth.
- Spoon about half of the cake batter into the bottom of your greased and floured tube pan.
- Arrange half of the sliced apples on top of the batter, then sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Next, add the remaining batter, then another layer of apples, then finish the top with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
- Bake in the oven for 1-1/2 hours or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out mostly clean (don't overbake or it may become dry).
- Let cool on the counter for about 15 minutes. Then gently slide a butter knife around the sides to loosen the cake from the pan. Prop it up on top of a large can (like a large can of whole tomatoes) and drop the sides off the pan. Place it back on the countertop and run a knife between the cake bottom and the bottom of the pan. Carefully but quickly invert the cake onto a plate (to remove it from the tube), then invert it again onto another plate, so it's right-side up.
- Store covered on the counter for several days. Serve warm with a steaming mug of of coffee and enjoy.

I've been making this cake for over 30 years, and always get great compliments from it. Even my sweets-hating husband likes this one. I've been making it for my mother's birthday for years...it's her favorite. It's a dense cake with great flavor, so if you're looking for a light, fluffy cake, this is not for you!

MARVELOUS JEWISH APPLE CAKE
This cake is extremely delicious. I got this recipe from cooking class and this by far the best food we ever made in that class. Everyone loves it. I'm not a huge fan of apple cake but I really don't mind the apples in this recipe. I sometimes make this recipe without the apples and it tastes great. You have to try it, otherwise you are definitely missing out. *Helpful hints for making the cake* -Sweeter apples = sweeter cake -I usually use 3 apples because 4 is a lot for me -Applesauce is a substitute for oil. I use 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cups applesauce. Depends how less fattening you want it to be. -I would core and peel apples after I am done the batter so they won't brown. Or you could put lemon juice on them. -Do not put cinnamon sugar mixture on top of your last batter when poured in pan. It will burn since it is on the top.
