I created this recipe based on my childhood memory of Apple Pancakes prepared by my Godmother which she called “Ratsushki”.
These pan-fried Apple Fritters (pancakes) are very easy to make, as they are made with all-purpose flour mixed with finely diced apples (or any fresh fruit), which makes them a little bit denser than the ones made out of a pancake mix, but they absorb less syrup at serving time.
If you love Tortes, but have been looking for a lighter filling, rather than the traditional butter cream, this is a great recipe for you. The cake layers are very thin, and the filling is mostly apples, with a nice caramel glaze.
This European Apple Cake recipe has been shared with me by a friend of mine, and referred to as “Sharlotka”. The cake is made out of a very rich batter (lots of egg yolks and butter), which makes it so scrumptious.
Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish religious holiday representing the New Year, so traditionally apples dipped in honey are part of the menu during this holiday.
Today I will post my recipe for a Jewish Apple Cake, which was given to me by a friend a couple of decades ago. I was not sure what made this particular recipe “Jewish”, so I turned to my readers for their feedback. One reader explained that Jewish desserts are usually made without dairy, so they can be served alongside the meat dishes, which also makes it a great dessert for Hanukkah holiday. If anyone else has a different take on this theory, please share your comments
The hot summer weather is getting its way, but this should not stop us from enjoying some refreshing summer desserts.
Lots of hot days in the sun, more time for outdoor fun, and less time to spend in the kitchen.
This is a very refreshing fruit salad, great for any occasion, and very easy to prepare.
