Tried and True Thanksgiving Recipes Week: Monday... Appetizers - Double-Apple Coffee Cake

Posted by Speaking from the Heart at 4:55 AM


When we are not in Alabama for Thanksgiving, I make our traditional dinner:
Although my family loves the traditional dishes, I want to add something new to our traditional meal this year. That is why I am so thankful that Kim is hosting Tried and True Thanksgiving Recipes Week (Nove 9-13). Here's her agenda for the week.

  • Monday- Appetizers. Do you have a little something something while you're waiting for the bird to cook?
  • Tuesday- Sides. Hot or Cold. I'm looking forward to this one as I'm always on the look out for a new side to try.
  • Wednesday- Main dish. Yes I know that most of us cook a turkey and call it done. But do you fry it, roast it, season it, smoke it? I wanna know. I'm always up for change there too. Oh and some of you may even cook a ham or beef. Let us know.
  • Thursday- Dessert. In my family everyone has a favorite pie so we usually end up with 5-6 pies.
  • Friday- Thanksgiving Traditions! Yes on this day I want to know what it is you always do on Thanksgiving.The memories you've made. This is the day to get nostalgic! There is always memories associated with food. Share them!
We usually have a big breakfast to hold us off until lunchtime around 2:00. However, this year, I am going to make Double-Apple Coffee Cake for our morning appetizer.
