Notes: This is one of the few recipes that my Grandma did follow and if you got lucky, when she made these you got one. My mother loved these so much she asked grandma for the recipe. Use whatever apples you want, Golden delicious, Jonathan, Granny Smith...I do prefer a tarter apple to help offset all the sugar and syrup. No matter what, make these as written. The dough is easy to make and worth the effort.
