I had 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 both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are 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.

Grease an 8” springform baking pan with butter.  Arrange the sliced apples evenly across the bottom of the greased pan.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.  Pour the batter over the apples, spreading it evenly to cover the slices.  Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Allow the apple pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
