Grandma's Apple Recipes
My mother passed away nine years ago and although I continue to miss her each and every day she left behind a lovely pile of notebooks and albums containing recipes for all of the favorite family recipes and foods that we enjoyed.
As I sort through the notebooks and loose sheets of paper to put together my own recipe books of mom’s home cooking I am looking forward to sharing them with all of you and hope that you and yours enjoy the recipes as much as my family does.
Most of the recipes are from the 1950s and 1960s.
