While attending a potluck lunch in Hoboken, Georgia during a Sacred Harp Sing, I tasted a recipe with apples and nuts and a mystery flavor. I couldn't put my finger on what the particular flavor was that stood out, but my husband, Bruce, could. It was cherries! Not knowing who prepared the unusual dish, I was unable to ask for the recipe. I came up with my version and here it is. By the way, I took my dish to a church potluck and got raves over it. Enjoy! -jmm
