Apple Crisp for One

This cake was created from thrift and was supposedly named after its appearance, which reminded people of the muddy Mississippi River bottom.

Layer homemade custard, ripe bananas, and vanilla wafers under clouds of whipped cream for this iconic dessert.

Serve a thick slice for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.

Reminiscent of a classic diner dessert, this chocolate cream pie offers pure comfort in a cookie crust.

Semolina flour and turmeric give this simple cake a sunny hue and nutty flavor.
