TRIED 'N' TRUE: Serve this apple roll warm with whipped topping
I have revised this recipe to be a little bit easier for our times. You know how the old recipes were — butter the size of an egg, pinch and a dab (also my all-time favorite), add flour by the handful. This original apple recipe came from Gene’s aunt, Ginnie Myles. I add sweetener so Gene can enjoy these also.
