An Apple a day….
By now you probably know I come from a long line of great cooks and bakers. My Aunt Maybelle is 90 and still loves to bake. This is one of my all-time favorite Autumn treats. It’s scrumptious on a Fall morning with a cup of coffee or hot tea. It also makes the perfect gift during the holidays.
