You’d think that with me being pregnant I’d be craving cake and lots of it. Well, it’s the total opposite! I’m craving salty, sour, and spicy. I can’t get enough of grapefruit lately. I have been on a sour kick this week so I have a bunch of granny smith apples. I was finally craving something a little sweet, so a cake that I used to have from a supermarket came to mind. It was called Jewish Apple Cake, then they started calling it Grandma’s Apple Cake. Either way, I absolutely love it!
I found a recipe online and thankfully it was pretty close to what I remembered! I added more apples and somehow added way too much OJ so I added a little flour to balance, and it turned out fine! Phew! 🙂
Have you ever tried this type of cake? If you like apple pie this is basically it in a cake form. Mmm throw a little ice cream on top and you’re set!
So let’s get to the recipe. Obviously like I stated I added a little more of things so this is slightly adapted.
Jewish Apple Cake

I have got to try this for my hubby!
That looks freakin delicious. I swear I gain 20lbs every time I come here 🙂 I love it
Ohhh this looks yummy, when I was pregnant with my twins I craved bacon and watermelon. Now one hates watermelon and one loves it, the other loves bacon and the other one will eat it but doesnt particularly care for it LOL.
This looks absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe so that I can try it.
That looks so good, I never wanted sweets when I was pregnant but sour things like lemons and sprees!
I’m part Jewish and never got this enough, I believe it’s what we call Bobka(sp?)and it’s my mother’s favorite!
That looks amazing – may have to put it on the list for this weekend’s breakfast!
It looks yummy and easy to make.
That looks really wonderful! Your grapefruit craving reminded me that I craved oranges with one of my pregnancies! I couldn’t get enough!
This looks delicious!
This looks amazing….especially since I’m dieting. But I’ll make it for the boys!
That looks pretty darn good. I bet it would be great crumbled up like a bread pudding with a sauce.
I have GOT to try this!
Oh yum!
MMM that sounds and looks yummy!
I’m making this to bring to brunch at my brother’s house next week. Thanks for the recipe, it’s perfect for our get together.
Yummy!
This looks fabulous! My son would love this!
My mom makes an apple cake similar to this and really like it. I am a big fan of apple pie, I like it with pecans and cranberries. Yours looks really good, thanks for all the photos, its helpful!
Oooo… this looks YUMMY!
That looks really good!
What makes this Jewish? Nevermind…who cares?…It looks yummy! I love apple cake and this one looks like a great one!
This cake looks so delicious! I Pinned it to my Recipes board and I will definitely make it very soon! I love desserts with apples!
I made this cake and it was delish!! Very easy to make–no blender needed! However, my fan forced oven burnt the carmelisation on the last layer. To fix that, I’ll bake it @ 20 C lower temp for a about 70-80 mins or so next time. Thanks for this recipe! Everyone loved it and I’ll be making this again and again! Yum! Lisa
