As I love cooking, my favorite question this time of year for patients and their families is what they're cooking for the holidays. A wonderful follow up patient a few weeks ago (who's doing great!) said her family loves her apple cake and requests it several times a year. I said I wouldn't mind the recipe, and a week later she mailed me a handwritten copy on an index card!
I made it tonight to bring into work and whole heartedly agree with her family - hands down the best apple cake I've ever had! I used Mountain Rose and Scarlett Stunner apples from Kiyokawa Family Orchard (ironically, MR is the more striking color) and added a pinch of salt as her original recipe had none. It's moist, chock full of apples (4 cups!) and it's like apple pie filling and cake had a baby - so good!
What family cooking traditions do you have? What's your most requested recipe? Would love to hear from you! Happy Holidays!
