Jewish Apple cake is an amazing cake! I found the recipe in a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook about 15 years ago. Friends who have tasted this cake will attest to the fact that nothing compares to the downright delicious caramelized crust and sweet cinnamon apples layered between fluffy batter. It might even be better......dare I say......than apple pie!

Of course I haven't made it in YEARS...literally because of the amount of sugar in it (about 3 cups!) I honestly never thought I would try to make a lightened version without any sugar at all, but hey, I like a challenge! SO I decided I would try it for Christmas this year to have something to bring to my aunt's house that I could eat so I wouldn't indulge in the high fat and sugar laden traditional desserts available.

My kids loved it and relatives couldn't believe it had no sugar in it. I was just happy to have a healthier dessert to enjoy on Christmas. This is a pretty cake that can be served at any party. The company will love it and never know its healthy...really!

If you'd like to make this cake gluten free and keto, I've done that too! Check out my Keto Apple Cake adapted from this no sugar added whole wheat apple cake!
