A Delicious Easy Dessert: Jewish Apple Cake

Growing up our Mama made dessert for us all on a regular basis. We would have cookies, different cakes, fruit-there would always be something nice for us kiddies after dinner. Now that we are all older and busy and are either at work or school, dessert is more of a weekend affair. We all take turns making different sweets, and this Jewish Apple Cake is one of our favourites. Our mama makes this in loaves, but it also makes a great bundt cake.

This recipe is easy, quick, and can be made in less than an hour. Plus the best, it can be made with spelt flour and so makes it great for our tummies. If you are looking to make it gluten free, try using a gluten free flour mix.
