I keep a small supply of the "small bubble" bubble wrap. The large bubble
stuff and the popped pillows go into the recyclyng bins with the plastic
grocery/tote bags to be taken to one of the stipormarkups which maintain
a collection point for such. I try to keep the "forever" plastics out of
our landfills.

Title: Nanny's Rosh Hashanah Apple Cake
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits, Nuts, Citrus
Yield: 8 servings
2 c (9 oz) A-P flour
1 c (7 oz.) sugar
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Kosher salt
1/2 lb Cold, unsalted butter; in
- 1/2" cubes, more for pan
1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
2 lb Granny Smith apples; peeled,
- cored, in 1/4" wedges
1/4 c Raisins
1/4 c Walnut halves; rough chopped
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
2 tb Honey
2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Fresh grated nutmeg
In a food processor, pulse the flour with the sugar,
baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and pulse until
it forms pea-size crumbles. Add the egg and pulse until
the dough just comes together. Remove one-third of the
dough and flatten it into a disk. Flatten the remaining
dough into a disk as well, and wrap each in plastic.
Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll the larger disk
into a 12" circle. Press the circle into a buttered 9"
pie pan and trim the edges flush with the edge of the
pan, reserving the trimmings. In a medium bowl, combine
the apples with the raisins, walnuts, lemon juice,
honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg; add to the pan. Pinch off
small pieces of the remaining dough disk and the
trimmings, and scatter them over the top of the apples.
Bake until the cake is golden brown and bubbling in the
center, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and
let cool completely before serving.
