Who doesn't like apples? Cooked or raw, these cousins of roses are a favorite American food, showing up in desserts, salads, breads, even main dishes, and, of course, as just about the best and easiest snack food on the planet.
Patricia B. Mitchell's The Great American Apple sings the praises of this noble fruit and shows its importance in the American diet and psyche throughout the history of this great nation.
“Steamy Cider,” “Spunky Applesauce,” “Oat Applesauce Drop-Biscuits,” “Glazed Meatloaf,” and “Apple-Pecan Cake” are just a few of the recipes in The Great American Apple which showcase the apple as an indispensable part of the American diet.
Old quotations and tales about apples make The Great American Apple especially appealing to read.
This Compact Edition of The Great American Apple can be purchased as a Kindle eBook Edition (Ad*). This title is also available as a larger annotated and indexed Bookshelf Edition.
