Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan.
- Slice the apples and mix them in a separate bowl with 4 teaspoons of sugar and cinnamon.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider using a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you're short on eggs, you can substitute one egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce for moisture. Be careful not to overmix the batter; this will help keep the cake light and airy. For added texture, fold in some chopped nuts or raisins.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cake warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar for a lovely finish. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a delightful brunch option, consider serving it alongside Olivia'S Strawberry Salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Jewish apple cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to a week. When ready to enjoy, gently reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or warm in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to restore its freshness.
