VIRGINIA APPLESAUCE AND GRANOLA COOKIES
Local – and homemade – is best. The apples used in this recipe, including those used to make the homemade applesauce – came from a picking expedition last fall on Carter's Mountain near Charlottesville. I also like to use my own homemade granola in this recipe. Of course, you can use commercially made products, as well.
If you'd like to email me for my recipe for homemade applesauce or granola, just send me an email: patrick@hrmag.com and I will send the recipes to you.
