Thank you so much for the clarification of the name for this apple cake. It makes perfect sense to me now, since I am aware of the fact dairy and meat is kept separate in Jewish cooking/baking.
I appreciate your time reading my post, and leaving an informative comment.

Hi. I think it is called “Jewish” apple cake because of the recipe style. Jewish deserts are often non-dairy so one can serve them with a meat meal (and not mix dairy and meat at the same meal). And Jewish apple cake is made with oil instead of dairy (butter or milk). It is also traditional for Chanukah, when is associated with oil rich dishes.

Thank you.
It is low fat as well, since no butter is used…yeah!
It can also be made as a sheet cake.
