Hannah Davis Baked Apple Crunch
Source of Recipe
76 House
Recipe Introduction
Robert Norden, Tavernkeeper of historic Fraunces Tavern Restaurant in New York City, restored the Old 76 House in 1986. It was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1993. Hannah Davis is often referred to as "the first widow of the revolution" as she was the wife of Captain Isaac Davis, the Acton, Massachusetts, gunsmith who commanded the Acton minutemen. On April 19, 1775, Captain Davis was felled by the first redcoat shots at Concord. Robert C.D. Norden, a direct descendant of Isaac Davis, brought the recipe to The Old 76 House where it enjoys an historic following.
