Sarah Feldman shares her delicious Rosh Hashana treats

In the lead-up to Rosh Hashana, Sarah Feldman, rebbetzin, wife, mom, entrepreneur and fabulous baker, shares two wonderful recipes with our readers, so that we can all enjoy a sweet new year.

On her blog, www.rabbiswife.com, Sarah says of the apple cake “I baked this divine apple cinnamon cake which is perfect for Rosh Hashanah. I’m not usually a fan of cooked or baked apples but this cake is something else!”
She also tells us more about her mom’s honey biscuit recipe. “[it] has always been a favorite growing up… the biscuits literally melt in your mouth! There is nothing really healthy about them but here is my 20/80 rule; if you eat healthy 80 percent of the time you can cheat the other 20 percent of the time. You can always replace regular oil with coconut oil, replace white sugar with brown sugar or honey and can use spelt flour instead of regular white flour.” Sarah wishes all our readers a “Happy and Sweet new year filled with all of G-d’s greatest blessings!”
