Apple Cake

A favorite through the Fall Festivals, because Festivals are about the only time I bake and apples are in season . . .

Apple Cake
It seems I only make this cake in the fall, although I’m sure it’s delicious year round. It’s our traditional dessert for Feast of Trumpets. I sometimes make it again through the week of Feast of Tabernacles.

1 ½ C Sugar                                                 1 tsp. Baking Soda
½ C Butter                                                   1 tsp. Cream of Tartar
2 Eggs                                                          Pinch of Salt
5-6 Apples, peeled and diced                      1 tsp. Gr. Allspice
1 ½ C Flour                                                 ½ tsp. Cinnamon
                                                                     1 C English Walnuts

Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat. Mix in diced apples. Combine all dry ingredients and spices and sift into batter. Add nuts, mix well.

Bake in greased and floured 9” X 13” pan @ 350 for about an hour. Best when served warm.

Top this treat with cream cheese icing.
