Apple picking season is in full swing and we just can’t wait to bake up a warm, fresh, sweet, buttery, and flaky apple pie.
What’s your favorite thing to cook with apples?
Apple pie is definitely up there, but around the Jewish High Holidays, I also love to prepare Kibbutz Apple Cake, from Joan Nathan’s cookbook, The Foods of Israel Today. The cake is made with a crumble that serves as both the bottom and top, and the middle is grated apples with cinnamon. melted butter is poured over the whole thing and it is baked in a springform pan. What makes the cake special texturally, is that it is made with semolina, a very common ingredient here in Israel (and in Jerusalem, in particular), where it is used in cakes, and kubbeh (meat or vegetable-filled dumplings).

We live for apple season here in New England – apple crisp is my favorite, but making an apple pie is a close second!
