Sweet Beezus!


Rosh Hashana is around the corner and it's time you start planning your menu. Traditionally, you serve apples with honey to symbolize your hopes for a sweet new year. Take that up a notch...and serve this. L'Shana Tova! Oh...and you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy this fabulous cake, you can make it just because it's good! 


Sweet New Year Cake
3 large tart apples (I use granny smith) peeled, cored, and sliced
1 cup of flour
1/3 cup of honey
1/3 cup of sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup real butter - melted and slightly cooled
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 TBS cold, real butter - chopped in smaller pieces
Preheat oven to 350F, and lightly oil a deep dish pie plate.
Place sliced apples in your baking dish; sprinkle with 1 tsp of the cinnamon and 2 TBS of the chopped butter.
In a medium bowl,  mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Stir in the egg, melted butter, and honey.  Pour on top of apples and sprinkle with remaining teaspoon of cinnamon.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until topping is slightly puffed and deep golden brown. 
AMAZING when served with ice cream!

*Beezus is my dog...in case you were wondering
