My Grandma's Three Best Quick and Easy Desserts
The first recipe I'm listing is my grandma's Danish Applesauce Cake. This was a favorite winter recipe not because it's a warm dish but because it warmed our hearts. We'd always have it after one of her great meals. Another recipe I wanted to share was her delicious Chocolate Chip Cake. The last but certainly not least delicious dessert recipe of hers is Rhubarb Custard Pie. I hope you try these wonderful recipes out and can enjoy them with your family and friends.
