Dutch Apple Cake

This is the most amazing apple cake I have ever eaten.

This one is a must for the fall season.

Do you have any fall parties planned, or Halloween parties? Your guests will be impressed with this one.

When I hear Dutch Apple Cake, I automatically think of the Amish, especially the Pennsylvania Dutch. They came from Swiss German origins.

The Amish produce their own foods, and by rule do not eat processed store bought foods. Homegrown fruits and vegetables, eaten fresh, canned, or frozen are the main Amish Diet.

The Amish keep their cooking and baking very simple, nothing fancy. They eat hearty soups in the winter time. Some of the best known Amish desserts are, shoofly pie, sugar cookies, and schnitz pie.

My cooking and baking technique, and even the foods I love to eat, I know I could survive being Amish.

Have you ever had an Amish sugar cookie?

Just like this Dutch Apple Cake, the Amish sugar cookies will make your tongue lick your eyebrows....Oh my gosh...

I have been searching and searching for the perfect Amish sugar cookie recipe, and I have failed miserably. I will just have to keep visiting the Amish. They keep secrets very well.

Dutch Apple Cake + Family and Friends = Tradition

This will definitely be a tradition in my house every fall.
