Dedication
For my mom, Betty Belles –
You will forever be a part of my connection to apples because you possessed the ability of taking fresh apples into the kitchen and creating something heavenly.
Acknowledgements
Ed Briggs, you are the love of my life and the apple of my eye!
Encouraging me to follow my dream of writing is a gift from you I treasure. I’m thankful, too, for your sage writing and publishing advice that so often helps me stay focused.
I can only sing your praises, Denise von Pressentin, for the tenacity you possess in putting Sweet Apple Temptations in apple pie order.
With each passing day, we discover more about writing and publishing, which weaves more golden threads into our friendship.
April Poirier, your love of baking and your keen eye for recipe flow were an apple blossom
asset in creating this book. Through the years we’ve shared in each other’s sorrows and joys, and now with Sweet Apple Temptations we’ve added another dimension to our life-long relationship.
Thank you, Cheryl Burke, for filling Sweet Apple Temptations with your zany drawings – I adore the charm you’re able to sketch into nostalgic images.
We’ve been friends since we were raising our babies, and have remained so as we begin strolling through the heirloom apple
orchard of life.
Eve was right, the apple is the greatest temptation.
--Denise von Pressentin
Introduction
My passion for apples began in the 1970s. That year, due to a rare blight, our nine apple trees produced barely enough apples to fill one wooden box. I felt sad seeing the rugged, old centurions stand in the orchard barren of lush fruit.
For me, the familiar scent of ripe apples ready for the harvest was noticeably absent from the autumn breeze. I missed the mellow fragrance that I’d come to rely upon for connecting me to fall and promising me that winter would soon be arriving.
That grim apple season made me appreciate the role apples play in my life. So thereafter, with trees limbs hanging heavy with crisp King
apples, the flurry of preserving, canning and baking in my kitchen until midnight, blossomed into a labor of love.
Apples have become a staple to me; they symbolize a domestic work ethic. They provide grace-filled opportunities for sharing the bounty with others while supporting the age-old values of home and hearth.
A bowl filled with fresh apples sitting on my island in the kitchen represents the hope for a bumper crop of apples and comfort of good things to come...like apple cookies, apple crisp, apple cake and apple you-name-it!
Sweet Apple Temptations is an apple dessert collection culminating forty-years of creating irresistible apple desserts. It's now time for the apple pie to come out of the oven, so let’s gather around the table to savor the enchantment of autumn and the most tempting fruit ever created.
I’ve never met an apple I didn’t like.
