Note: These were from my Aunt Bessie my godmother, (Darda's older sister) she was a great cook and baker.
She was always cooking something good and her house.
always smelling good, she made these mostly at Christmas time and Easter
They have always been a favorite of mine. I will always remember going to her home in New Prague and running down to the apple trees we just could not wait to get a bite of those apples. Not to mention if we brought in enough we might get an apple pie. |
