this was actually from another thread. I made this a few times. I actually just made it this week for shabbos and it was a huge hit!

From The Taste of Shabbos (Aish's cookbook)

3 cups sliced apple (I grate it, actually)
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups + 4 Tbsp. sugar
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp baking powder
4 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice (I used apple)
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 cup oil

Toss sliced apples with cinnamon and 4 Tbsp. sugar in a bowl.
Combine sifted dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well and add eggs, juice, vanilla and oil. Beat until smooth. In a lightly greased tube pan (I used a 9x13 rectangle) spread 1/3 of dough. Drain off liquid from apples. Arrange half of them over dough. Cover with 1/3 dough. Spread rest of apples and cover with remainder of dough. Bake at 350 (175 C) for 1-1/14 hours.

I am an apple freak and this cake is just IRRESISTABLE. That combo of apples and cinnamon is heavenly!

Does that one taste like cake, or like kugel? I'd really like an apple kugel, as opposed to an apple cake. (Sorry op, but was excited to see this topic!)

I cut out tons of sugar from my apple kugel recipe and use whole wheat flour. Now it's more a kugel than a cake. It's still sweet but not sickly, just right. A 9x13 pan of apple kugel doesn't need more than 1/4 cup of sugar.
