Apple crumb cake recipe1/15/2024 As with all my desserts, I aim to reduce the sugar as much as possible while keeping them “normal,” as my son says. The result was glorious – a moist, perfectly spiced cake with tender apples and a crunchy, crumbly top. I was confident in this cake since I tweaked an existing cake recipe (the blueberry-lemon loaf with cornmeal crumb topping from a spring class), topped it with sliced apples and a crumb topping recipe that I tweaked from my cookbook. Lucky for me, I had quite a few taste testers ready and willing to sample the results. This past Sunday, I had an idea for a new apple cake and I thought I would try one out in time for Rosh Hashana. I also have bursts of creativity when I am just sitting in front of the tv. But most Sundays you can find me in the kitchen making soup and squeezing in some meal prep during halftimes. Sometimes we have friends over and sometimes we don’t, or we go to someone else’s house to watch. I married a major Steelers fan, therefore on Sundays in the fall and most of the winter, we so look forward to staying home and watching football. Such fun! They also had season tickets to the Giants for years and years, so I inevitably grew up a Giants fan. My grandmother unfolded the back of the station wagon and introduced me to tailgating. My grandfather served in the army in World War 2 and therefore also rooted for Army as well and took me to an Army game when I was a teenager. He was a die hard fan and actually resembled then-coach, Joe Paterno. It was a Penn State game, since he grew up outside of State College, Pennsylvania and several of his brothers and family members attended the school. My maternal grandfather sat me down in front of the television one Saturday afternoon when I was about 7 years old and started to teach me the game of football. I used to follow tennis since that’s the only sport I actually play, and I still occasionally watch a grand slam tournament. The only professional sport I watch on TV is football.
