One woman really upped the game with her homemade apple cake and she graciously shared the recipe. I have made this countless times over the years. I recently baked this apple cake and took it to the farm. I started thinking about when my friend gave the recipe to me and it's getting old! 40+ years now.
This was back in the day when recipes were written on cards or kept in a small 7-ring binder notebook. I have handwritten recipe books and cards from my grandma, my mom, and me. My daughters' generation looks up their recipes on the computer, either from a Google search or cooking websites. I wonder if my girls will want all these hard copies when the time comes to pass them along.
My sister kept my mother's handwritten brown book. I treasure her 1970's issue of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, I learned to cook beyond the basics from that book.
ReplyDeleteThat recipe is very similar to one I make 2 or three times a year. But my recipe is only about 5 years old and I got it from David Lebovitz web site. He called it a French Apple Cake.
