With the Fourth of July upon us and we are having family and friends over, we want to have something we can fix ahead of time. This recipe came to me from my cousin, Carole’s daughter-in-law Cheryl. She served this at a shower. Don’t remember if it was for a wedding or baby. Anyway, she brought out this salad. It was so good. I wanted the recipe. Well, it took almost two years but I finally got it. I’ve used this for a very long time. She was a newlywed back then. Now she’s a mother-in-law. Thanks Cheryl.

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.
