Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This 100+ year-old recipe was passed from Mathilda Teich to her daughter, Ruth Teich Anderson, and then on to Ruth's daughter, Candy Anderson Ames. Candy used to bring this to Curriculum Committee and other school meetings. It was especially good when Ruth made it to send along for the meetings. She preferred McIntosh Apples, so this recipe is best between September and December. Follow the recipe exactly, because it isn't the same with skim milk or other modifications.
