Mom’s Musings

Give Me Five fave fall time foods with or without recipes.

• Hmmm . . . As the days become shorter, and there’s a definite nip in the air, our family really enjoys a hearty, chowder-type soup, such as Cheddar Chowder.
  
• I usually serve this soup with homemade Cornbread.
  
• A dessert made with molasses, such as Plantation Cake, is a favorite fall food.
  
• Another autumn dessert we enjoy is Pumpkin Yum.
  
• Anything made with apples is a favorite around here. This is a recipe for Apple Crumb Cake.
  

  ½ cup shortening
  

  ½ cup brown sugar
  

  1 egg
  

  1 teaspoon baking soda
  

  1 cup buttermilk
  

  2 cups flour
  

  1 ½ to 2 cups fresh apple, some tart variety, chopped into ½” pieces
  

  1 teaspoon vanilla
  

   

  Cream together sugar, shortening, and egg. Add soda and buttermilk, alternating with flour. Stir in chopped apples and vanilla.
  

   

  Topping (sprinkle on before baking):
  

   

  ½ cup white sugar
  

  1 teaspoon cinnamon
  

  1 Tablespoon butter
  

   

  Cut butter into sugar and cinnamon until coarse crumbs are formed.
  

  Bake at 350 degrees in greased 9 x 13-inch pan for 30 to 40 minutes.

The ‘Give Me Five’ Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple short list! Here’s how it works. Each week, I will put out a random topic from my list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back here! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn’t have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified.
