Caramel Apple Pie Bars Easy as pie. Goes together in minutes. Again was looking through my mother’s old cookbooks. This was a Pillsbury Grand National winner back maybe 50 years ago and was called “Apple Pie ’63.” The original of course, started with a made-from-scratch pie crust, filling and caramel sauce. I wanted to see…

Apple Pie Cake
Apple Pie Cake Love apple pie but don’t want to fuss? Here’s the easy way! Recently, I got out some old cookbooks that belonged to my mother. Brought back some memories, I’ll tell you. My mother was an incurable baker! I think this is where I got my love of this art, although sadly her…
Old Fashioned Crumb Cake
Old Fashioned Crumb Cake Nothing better. Just add coffee. This cake is so easy to prepare. The different method here is the crumbs. I don’t cut in cold butter. I melt it, add sugar, then enough flour to form a crumb. This way, the cold butter does not melt when baked and the crumbs stay…

Ambrosia
Ambrosia Heavenly salad or dessert. Easy to make classic. Perfect for summer. I have always loved ambrosia…although we never called it that! My mother never made this, but my friend’s mom did. I know most associate this salad with the winter holidays, but my friend’s family used to serve this at barbeques and picnics. As…
