God Bless America and Mother’s Apple Pie! Or in this case my husbands Grandma’s Apple Pie, but this old handwritten family recipe is titled “Mother’s Apple Pie”!
Chris loves apple pie – I mean he seriously loves apple pie but this apple pie recipe is the one he requests the most! It has a creamy sweet layer between the bottom crust and the apples that he describes as almost like a thin layer of sugar cream!
This recipe comes from his side of the family, it is his Mom’s Mom’s recipe and I’m lucky to have it in handwriting! I love handwritten recipes, they speak to me just as much as old photographs.
While the backsplash in my kitchen is covered in family handwritten recipes, the farm office walls in our house are covered in family farm photographs. I love being surrounded by memories while making memories!
From the picture in our farm office, to the perfect Mother’s Day to driving tractors down the road!
