Fanny’s Apple Cake
Rosh Hashanah is celebrated with sweet treats to symbolize hope for the sweet year ahead. Apples & honey, honey cake, and apple cake were always on our holiday table. My wife’s grandmother, Fanny Shenn, was a phenomenal baker and always made her recipes with the most important ingredient, love. Here is one of her many recipes that have been passed down through generations.
