About Lis

Three years ago, Lis started an adventure that has led to finding many lost and unknown relatives. It all started with a simple question and now has turned into a great passion.

Currently Lis is working on her family history with the majority of family roots in Northwestern New Jersey. She is also in the process of writing a book documenting her family and a cookbook filled with recipes passed down through generations.

Lis Kemple is a stay at home mom to an 8 year old daughter and a full time accounting student set to graduate spring of 2012. Born and raised in New Jersey but now Lis resides in Hampton Roads, Virginia. With an area rich in history it's a great inspiration for genealogy research.

A great friend of mine started scrapbooking her family recipes as part of her genealogy research and I thought that was a wonderful idea.  Maybe one day I can create a family cookbook to pass on.

Since it’s fall and a great time of year to pick apples, I wanted to share this recipe with you.

Dutch Apple Cake

 

Transcribed from my grandmother’s written recipe

3 C flour

6 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

8 tbsp crisco

6 tbsp sugar

Sift all together.  Add 2/3 C milk to 2 beaten eggs.  Add to flour mixture.  Spread in 2 pie tins.  Cover with sliced apples or any fruit.  Put sugar and cinnamon on top and bits of butter.  Bake 25-30 minutes.  Serve with lemon sauce. 

 

Enjoy!
