The holidays are a time for gathering; friends, family and good food are what come to mind for us. From Thanksgiving through New Years, people gather to celebrate the holidays, relying on yearly traditions and time tested recipes to make these celebrations warm and meaningful.
At Plain & Fancy, we love that our Family Style Farm Feast brings people together! We follow the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition of “pass the platter” meals filled with hearty food and good conversation. Our Family Style meal was even featured on an episode of Man V. Food on the Travel Channel as a signature meal that is featured in many holiday traditions!
One of the many wonderful recipes we use for our Family Style Feast is our Sour Cream Apple Crumb Pie. It’s a fantastic dessert to make for the holidays and share with your family and friends. Make it part of your holiday tradition!
