We are a blended household when it comes to religion. I'm Catholic, and my husband is Jewish, so we are fortunate to be able to celebrate the holidays for both. I am always looking for new recipes for the Jewish holidays, and for Rosh Hashanah this year, I found this simple Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake. I think I will serve it warm, and instead with the honey butter it recommends, I'll just drizzle honey over the warm cake. Apples, check! Honey, check! Have a sweet new year!
