Apple Candy Cake                                Vera Hayes

Butter a baking dish.  Pare and slice apples, count on 2 cups or more of them measured after slicing.  Put them in a baking dish with ½ cup water, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and ¼ cup white sugar.  Take ½ to 1 cup brown sugar, ¾ cup flour, ¼ teaspoon of salt, ½ cup butter or Crisco.  Work to-gether as pastry crust.  Put this on top of the apples and set the dish uncovered into a moderate oven 350degrees and bake slowly for 40 or 60 minutes.  Serve with whipped cream, cream hard sauce or ice cream.  It is very good, just plain. 

DAILY RECIPES BY CALENDAR

As an ongoing feature here, I will add to this each day the recipes out of several books I have that are dated or from calendar books

I have three right off the bat that are calendars, one from 1875, one from the early 1900’s and one from the 1930’s to 40’s. 

A small leather covered calendar book from Burlington Vermont dated 1875.  It has all kinds of lovely handwritten dessert recipes; the front of the book has an overview of each month and a predictive weather chart, the difference of tie between Boston and New York, the value of gold and silver at the time and other interesting things like rates of postage.
