This has to be one of my favorite things to make. Jewish Apple Cake was one of the first things I learned how to bake. I remember sifting though my mom’s recipe box, seeing this and knowing I wanted to try to make it. The key was hiding the ingredients from my sister. She thought orange juice had cooties and wouldn’t come within 10 feet of it. This cake does have a little bit of orange juice in it, but I somehow managed to get her to eat it. And like it.
I have made this so many times that I practically know the recipe by heart. It is perfect for a breakfast get together. I have also made this for a friend’s birthday, who isn’t too big on sweets.
You can adjust the amount of apples to suit your needs. The more apples you add, the more apple-y your cake will be. Also, I used 2 loaf pans for this, but it also works great in a bundt pan. Enjoy!
