The days are getting shorter as Summer makes way for Autumn in all her splendor. Moisture clings to the air when we go for our morning walks. Color is exploding in oranges and reds hues of the leaves on the trees while other leaves fall to the ground and crunch under our feet.
My favorite season is near and I anticipate our traditional drive to the beach to see the colorful scenery.
Pumpkins, apples sauce and dill pickles remind me of fall as food and canning are a large part of my family's life. Below is our favorite fall recipe. This is a German pastry that has been in our family for generations.
Apple Slices
5-6 apples peeled and sliced (Granny Smith's)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon CINNANMON
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 Tablespoon flour
dash of salt
Mix dry ingredients set aside.
Make double pie crust- roll out half the dough to fit the bottom of a 9" x 13" pan. Alternate apple slices and sugar mixture, in turns. Roll top crust same size and place over last sugar layer.
Bake 400 degree in the oven for 45 minutes or until nicely browned. Drizzle powered sugar icing over crust while still warm.
Powder Sugar icing
Approx. 2 Cups powder sugar mix with 1-2 Tablespoon milk mix together.
Shh! Don't tell my mom I've given this recipe out or she'll disown me from the family. Enjoy the changing season. I know I will.
Cinnamon
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I intend to try it out and I'll never tell.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe. My grandmother was Penn Dutch and made a lot of yummies with apples.
ReplyDeleteHi, Cinnamon!
ReplyDeleteI also love fall. However, it has arrived far too quickly this year. I don't have all my outside tasks done!
Thanks for the recipe. It sounds easy and very yummy!
