Apple Cake (Apfelkuchen)
It’s fall(ish.) It’s apple season. It’s Rosh Hashanah. It’s time to share the cake I take to Rosh Hashanah lunch when people invite me.
This is a cake that my family has been making for as long as I can remember. The apple variation can be subbed out with Rhubarb, Pears, or Stone Fruit, as long as you cut the pieces uniformly.
This cake keeps well for about a week, but it also freezes well.

Thomas yes! I am sorry for the typo. 1/4 CUP of oil. I fixed it.
