Autumn Favorites
One of my favorite autumn memories would have to be
coming home to the smell of apples and dumplings on a rainy day. My mom
always made a pot as soon as she saw it start to sprinkle. She didn't
know how much we expected it until one precipitus afternoon when I came
tromping through the door with my friends, sniffed the air and
proclaimed "See! I TOLD you she'd make them!" Unbeknownst to my mom, I
had been bragging on the bus that I liked when it rained because my mom
ALWAYS had apples and dumplings for us when we got home. None of them
believed me and challenged me to prove it. That was just one of the many
times mom came through for me!
Tamera's Mom Shares the Recipe!Oh my goodness, I made up the recipe for Apples and Dumplings. I just peeled and sliced apples, put them into a pan with water, sugar and cinnamon. Cooked them till tender. Thickened the juice with a small amount of cornstarch, then made the dumplings with the bisquick recipe (2 cups Bisquick and 2/3 cup milk, but added a bit of sugar and some cinnamon.) Dropped the mixture by spoonfuls (about 10) onto the apples, covered with a lid, and let them cook on the lowest setting till the dumplings were done (about 10 minutes). Served the apples over a dumpling, and sometimes served them with a scoop of ice cream.~Love,Mom Persimmon Cookies1 cup persimmon pulp, strained1 teaspoon baking soda 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon cloves 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter 1 egg 1 cup walnuts, chopped 1 can raisins, optional Cream Sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl.
