I found this recipe the other day and knew I had to make it for Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year). I altered it a bit, including ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla. There's a link to the original recipe so you can look at their step-by-step apple layering techniques.
Olive Oil, Honey, and Apple Cake
3-4 Apples (I used Honeycrisp), cored and thinly sliced
5 Tbsp. Flour, sifted
3 Tbsp. granulated Sugar
5 Tbsp. extra virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
dash of Ginger
1 tsp. Vanilla
4 large Egg
1/2 cup pure Honey
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a a spring-form cake pan, then place the apple slices inside.
3. Put flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, olive oil and 2 eggs in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
4. Pour batter over the apples and bake for 20 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and increase heat to 400degrees.
5. In
a bowl, whisk 2 eggs and honey. Pour mixture over the cake and bake in
the oven for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown and fork comes out
clean when poked in the center.
6. Serve warm or cold.
