I don’t know how I missed this, but the New York Times Magazine on Nov. 11 reminisced about one of the great desserts of all time–Teddie’s Apple Cake.

I’ve been making this yummy, coffee-cake like treat for years. Lately, my daughter made it so that it’s gluten and dairy free. Amazingly, it was still delicious.

The only thing that’s still left unanswered: who is Teddie?
