APPLE DATE BUNDT CAKE

This is a very sweet and rich tasting, classic Jewish cake. As the sugar melts and caramelizes, and as the apples soften and produce juice, the cake will bake up into a moist and dark treat.

FRESH APPLE DATE CAKE

I've had this recipe for ages and it's a favorite of ours! Most of us have the ingredients on hand, so it's an easy dessert to throw together and I especially like the fact that the apples don't have to be peeled! It's also a good way to use up "slightly past their prime" apples that are a little wrinkled. It turns out very moist and delicious and also freezes well.

DATE-NUT APPLE CAKE

WE have enjoyed this recipe for many years. It was given to me by a college friend. It looks like a standard fruit cake, but the rich, moist texture of apples, dates, raisins and nuts makes it a very satisfying dessert. A slice of this cake, topped with whipped cream, whipped topping or a big scoop of ice cream will have your guests coming back for more.
