“Jewish” Apple Cake: this moist, dense (dairy free, so it can be served with a meal containing meat) cake is the perfect way to end the Hanukkah 2014 season. While some of the olive oil was left in the recipe (a traditional custom for Chanukkah), most of it was replaced with sweet homemade Apple Sauce (canned earlier in the fall at the peak of apple season, in preparation for winter) making for a healthy, tasty dessert. Served with The Wild Beer Co’s Ninkasi (Iduna Cru), a New Zealand hopped, Belgian-Style Saison, with Wild Yeast and Somerset apple juice.
