I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Apple Kuchen

½ cup butter or margarine, softened
1 ½ cups sifted flour
½ cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
½ tsp. almond flavoring
Apples, peeled and sliced
Cinnamon sugar mixture or Streusel Topping

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In medium bowl, combine butter, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add eggs, flavoring, and milk and mix well. Spread dough thinly in bottom of two 8-inch greased and floured cake pans. Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or streusel topping. Bake for 30 minutes or until the dough browns and apples are tender.

Streusel Topping:

1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 ½ Tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt

Stir ingredients together until well-mixed and in fine crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the two pans of Kuchen.

Peeled peaches or unpeeled pears or plums would also work in this good and easy coffee cake.
