I am 55 years old,my mom has been gone for 3 years. Ever since I can remember every Thanksgiving, Christmas and family reunion my mom baked her fresh apple cake in a big old bundt pan. I have to say growuing up this was not my favorite Anyone who ever tasted it wanted the recipe but mom would not give it out. I have all her cookbooks in them she wrote her special recipes down that she did not share with anyone. One day about 6 months after her death I started reading her cookbooks. I found all of her secret recipes and a love letter my dad had written while they dating! What an inheritance
