Cooking with Grandma

Anthony loved cooking pies and cakes with Grandma Cockrell. They made a pumpkin pie and one of Grandma's world famous apple cakes!

The Fresh Apple Cake is world famous because when Thomas was on active duty with the United States Marine Corps, Mom would ship him a fresh apple cake where ever he was stationed, which included Hawaii and Japan! Whoever was there when the cake arrived got to enjoy a piece and they all loved it!

Anthony saying, "Egg! Egg!"

Fresh Apple Cake
* Mix together 1 ½ cup of oil and 2 cups sugar.
* Mix in gradually 3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of
baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and cinnamon.
* Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 4 cups of diced apples.
* Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Notice how tall Anthony is...he is half as big as
Grandma and is only 23 months old!

The geese that come in to eat each day!
