A favorite Fall tradition is a trip (or two) to an apple orchard/cider mill to get apples. More importantly it is the enjoyment of warm cider doughnuts washed down with a glass of apple cider. I did not go to a cider mill this year so instead I made this delicious apple cider doughnut cake. … Continue reading
Grandma’s applesauce has been a part of my “cooking life” for a very long time and she always used Cortland apples to make this special treat. Some of the favorite ways we enjoyed it when I was younger was as a dip for danish or cinnamon rolls. There is nothing better than a buttered piece of toast … Continue reading
These muffins sound good, don’t they? I know, not another apple recipe but this one is special (they all are, right?). These muffins are even better because they are healthy, I used my homemade Grandma’s applesauce which I can every year and there is maple syrup in the glaze.

I was given a variety of apples recently and I decided to make a small batch of applesauce, just enough for 2-4 servings. You can use any combination of apples you want and that is what I did. Sometimes a variety of apples turns out a better tasting product than just one type of apple. See … Continue reading
Another comfort food that everyone has a recipe for. Mine is made with my homemade applesauce (a request from my husband who is not a ketchup fan). This meatloaf makes a delicious sandwich.
This is probably one of my oldest recipes (as I adapted it from my Grandmother). Dad said I should add some sugar but I never felt I needed it. There is nothing else in this recipe but apples and their skins; no sugar or spices. It does take a long time to cook, but worth every … Continue reading
