Mom and I formulated this recipe back in the '50s after visiting a friend's farm where they made the most delicious sour cream ever. Our first try was perfect, and these apple squares soon became a favorite to serve at social functions. Years ago, we made six pans of these squares when a young Johnny Carson presented his magic show at our card club!

I also made this from a Pillsbury recipe inte 70's. It's very good with a scoop of vanilla icecream!

I too misplaced this recipe and am happy to recover it. We sometimes made it with a cream sauce.

My grandmother came across this recipe in your magazine when I was younger and made it for special occasions. She misplaced the recipe and never found it again. I was so happy to find it again on your website!
