A Happy and Sweet New Year to You!

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!
CINNAMON SUGAR APPLE CAKE
From Pinch of Yum
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon white vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 1/2 cups chopped apples (see notes)
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix or whisk ingredients in order given, stirring until just combined. Fold in your apples.
- Pour batter into a buttered 9×13 pan (alternatively, you can line with parchment paper).
- Combine last 3 ingredients to make a topping and sprinkle / spread it evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Test with a toothpick if needed. Serve with honey butter (I'm going to drizzle honey over warm cake).
