I love Amish cooking. I am often reading books, and some of my favorite books are novels about Amish people. I tend to gravitate toward the simple living. I am not sure I could ever live as simply as they do, but I do like to slow myself down and enjoy a good dessert now and then. I made this for a quick weeknight dessert. It was wonderful. If doubled, it would be great for company.

ReplyDeleteI love Amish cooking as well. I lived very near to a Mennonite community growing up so I had a chance to try many of their wonderful recipes at our local markets. Your Apple Grunt sounds delicious, such a lovely, seasonal recipe. Thank you for sharing it with the Hearth and Soul hop.
