German Apple Cake
"This is my favourite cake recipe. It's easy to make and absolutely delicious.
For an elegant appearance, I use a round baking dish and arrange the apple slices in concentric circles, starting from the outer edges of the cake.
Left over cinnamon-apples are great sauted and served with icecream or added to hot breakfast cereals."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I've recently completed my undergrad degree, and I'm taking some time off before returning to grad school. I've done lots of cooking since graduating, and I continue to collect more recipes than I could ever possibly make.
I'm a vegetarian, and I try to make environmentally sustainable and socially conscious food choices, using local, organic, and fair trade products whenever possible. I believe that any food experience should be enjoyed holistically, with appreciation for the flavour, texture, smell, and appearance of a dish, and consideration for where the ingredients have come from and the processes they've undergone before arriving in my kitchen.
I discovered earlier this year that I have Celiac Disease and a dairy intolerance, so I'm learning new ways to cook and eat in a world full of wheat and dairy. A sad goodbye to sandwiches, pizza, beer, and cinnamon buns.
