This is sad.

A popular Amish creamery in Michigan is gone.

Fire broke out Saturday afternoon - then an explosion inside the building forced firefighters out.

9 fire departments used over 300,000 gallons of water.

But it was a total loss.

The community has already started to rally to help the farmers involved.

Old-Fashioned Amish Cinnamon Rolls
Here’s a traditional-style recipe that would work well for the Cottage Craft Works Amish Recipes collection.
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 to 4½ cups all-purpose flour
Cinnamon Filling
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, optional
Old-Fashioned Icing
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3–4 tablespoons milk or cream
Directions
1. Combine the warm milk, yeast, and a small spoonful of the sugar. Let stand about 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Stir in the remaining sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Gradually add the flour until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead for about 6–8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled, about 1–1½ hours.
4. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, roughly 16 × 20 inches. Spread generously with softened butter.
5. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
6. Starting along the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into approximately 12 rolls.
7. Arrange in a buttered 9 × 13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
8. Bake at 350°F for approximately 22–28 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden and cooked through.
9. Mix the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and enough milk or cream to make a smooth icing. Spread over the cinnamon rolls while they are still slightly warm.

This old-fashioned Amish apple pie is simple, hearty, and made with the kind of ingredients traditionally found in a country kitchen.

Ingredients

For the crust

2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup cold butter or shortening
6–8 tablespoons ice water

For the apple filling

6–7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
Directions
Prepare the crust: Mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough into two portions. Roll one portion out and place it in a 9-inch pie pan.
Make the filling: Combine the sliced apples, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice.
Pour the apple mixture into the crust and dot the top with butter.
Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the apples. Crimp the edges and cut several small vents in the top.
Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake another 35–45 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
Let the pie cool for at least 1–2 hours before slicing so the filling can set.
Amish Kitchen Tip

For a particularly old-fashioned flavor, use a mixture of tart and sweet apples rather than just one variety. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—or, in keeping with a simple country kitchen, enjoy it with a little fresh cream poured over the top.
