Simple Saturday Apple Cinnamon Crowns
It occurred to me as I was making these impromptu SIMPLE SATURDAY APPLE-CINNAMON CROWNS for the first time this morning, that this recipe is something my granmama might have easily whipped together on the spur of the moment too. She definitely was notorious for making something truly delicious from whatever ingredients she had available in her kitchen.
In the original Perkins Family Cookbook (1992) – WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED? I asked for family members to submit their memories of my granmama, Anna Margaret, and stories about her cooking. Uncle Gary (her son-in-law/married to Lynn) recalled “that the best meals Anna Margaret cooked were those that she started with nothing in particular and just cooked what she had handy; no recipes”. I would call that being very resourceful with a touch of Kitchen Magic. I like to think she passed that Kitchen Magic gene on to her many descendants.
These Simple Saturday Apple Cinnamon Crowns are equally as good on Sunday morning warmed up in the microwave for 30 seconds with a few toasted, chopped pecans and, several drizzles of caramel. Yum Yum…
