Description
Apple cider, applesauce, apple butter, apple pie, apple fritters, apple pandowdy, these are just among the “wonderful excellent” Pennsylvania Dutch apple foods which were passed down by generations of Pennsylvanians. Apples have all the time been the most important a part of Pennsylvania’s agricultural and food heritage. This book traces the history and lore of the fruit within the Keystone State, goes into the orchards and records the oral history of the descendants of apple growers, discusses the state’s apple varieties, explores the industry as it thrives lately, and results in the kitchen with recommendations on storage and recipes for delicious apple entrees and desserts.
