Grandma Letter ~~ Postmarked August 31, 1988

Dear Shelby,

Received your nice letter & enclosures.  I'm glad you liked the picture.  It was mind-boggling at times.

Yes, very cool here.  It was only 71 yesterday.  The Fair started yesterday.  It is only 2 blocks away.  Did I tell you Ruth asked me to go along to see the Judds tomorrow night?  She has 2 grandstand tickets.

I didn't se "Psycho" until a few years ago.  Yes, it was good.

I will send you the recipe for the apple tart as soon as I find good apples to make one.  I never wrote it down & I just put it together without really measuring any thing.  I couldn't find good juicy cooking apples.  When I make it, I will measure everything & send it to you.  I just put about 1/4 cup of flour & 1/4 cup of sugar on the bottom of  an uncooked pie shell.  Peel & slice apples & layer in pan.  Sprinkle brown sugar over the top & dot with butter.  Pour about 1/4 cup walnuts into the pie along the sides so as not to get the brown sugar dissolved.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.  Cook at about 425 for about 10 minutes & turn to 325 or 350.  If it gets too brown cover it with a piece of foil.  After 1/2 hour test to see if the apples are tender.  The foil keeps the crust from getting too done & burnt.

I hope this doesn't confuse you because it really is very simple.  I will make one & measure everything very soon.  I love them especially with ice cream or milk over it.  Or just plain.

Write soon.  

Love always,

Grandma

Love to Jack!
