Ma's Apple Slices

I  thought I would share an old recipe I got from my mother years ago.

Its one of our all time favorites.

 especially since its apple season at least here in Illinois it is.

 I know you will love them as much as we do.

Its kind of a gloomy rainy day and I have a lot of paint scraping to do on the railings on the back deck. I don't know why they didn't put vinyl ones!! so here we are stuck scraping and painting them every year now that the tree is gone I hopefully wont have to be doing that as often.
