Claire Saffitz Makes Honey-Roasted Apple Cake | Dessert Person
Claire's entire career, she has been on a quest for the perfect Jewish apple cake. Oil-based cake packed with apples and flavored with hone (in order to make it fitting for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year when and apples and honey are eaten together). Here Claire drizzles 2 pounds of sliced apples with honey and a little olive oil and roasts them, ensuring the many layers of apples inside the light, tender cake are soft enough to cut with a spoon, It's the apple cake of Claire's dreams.
