This is a very old handwritten recipe on an index card. The card is so old it’s thin and very worn around the edges. The card was in a plastic sleeve for protection and with a bunch of recipes in a recipe tin bought at auction.
This is one of three cards I will publish from this author.
The handwriting is very hard to read in some places and I did the best I could to interpret, but I believe it’s correct.
Please read the recipe thoroughly before attempting to make. The instructions first state to mix the dry ingredients, but that wouldn’t include the Cinnamon or sugar since they are added at the end of the recipe.
Dutch Apple Cake
2 c. flour
3 tsp B.P.
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp Butter
1 egg
about 2/3 c milk
4 sour apples
2 tbsp sugar
little cinnamon
Mix & sift dry ingred, work in shortening with tips of fingers, or cut in with knives; add milk and the well beaten egg gradually mixing with a knife. Dough must be soft enough to spread in a shallow baking pan. Put apples in top. Sprinkle in the sugar and Cinnamon. Bake in hot oven about 1/2 hr.

Would it be possible for me to use the facsimile of the Dutch Apple Cake card on my blog, and link back to this post? I’m doing a post about my grandmother’s desserts & this is the recipe that I got from her over 40 years ago. My card even looks very, very similar! Please let me know and thank you for your time.

Sure, no problem Nancy. Thanks for asking :).
