Granny’s Apple Scalloped Potatoes
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 55 min. + standing
YIELD: 4 servings.
This scalloped potatoes with apples dish is delicious with baked breaded pork chops, which you could cook at the same time in another cast-iron pan. We are retired, so it's just the two of us, but you could easily double the recipe to serve a crowd. —Shirley Rickis, The Villages, Florida
