Apple Season in Saguenay

Apple season is here! Try your hand at making a scrumptious Apple Dumpling or a custard! You’ll give yourself a chance to time-travel back to 1944. This recipe comes Mrs. Finley McLeod from the Saguenay Cook Book, published by the women of Arvida First United Church in Saguenay, 1944. 

This copy was collected by Jane Hood, who ran the McGill Book Fair for over thirty years. Her collection of cookbooks is now catalogued and held in Rare Books and Special Collections.
