- Holiday Dessert
came from my mom. I can remember her making it as a child (more than 40 years ago), but misplaced the recipe for several years after her death. I was SO excited when I found it again (in her handwriting!)
HER version of the recipe called for a stick of butter and a cup of sugar!
I substituted apple sauce for some of the butter, decreased the amount of sugar, and used whole-wheat flour for some of the white flour.
