This makes enough for the three pies to be served for a Sleepy Hollow feast, including a topping for the apple pie.

This looks fantastic! There’s a German dish that mixes quark (similar to sour cream) with sugar and peaches, and it’s one of my favorites. This looks like it’d taste quite similar. Thank you for the recipe!
A German recipe makes sense. I remember doing research on Pennsylvanian Dutch recipes since they settled in Pennsylvania. Maybe something similar is what I came across on the Gutenberg site?
Made this for the first time today. It was a hit with the family. Thanks for posting it!
