Apies cake was originally made with lard. We changed to shortening when lard became difficult to find. We also switched to buttermilk when we could no longer find sour milk. Pappy used to make this using coffee cups to measure. He adjusted the amount of lard he used according to the wetness of the batter.
Redner’s supermarket in Douglassville, PA sells Apie Cakes. I grew up on this cake myself… my PA German-French grandmother made these all the time to dip in her coffee. I’ve seen different recipes of this cake in Berks County, PA; however, I like Redner’s Apie cakes the best, as they are similar to my grandmother’s and mother’s.
