# 🥧 “My Neighbor, the Sweet Old Lady, Made This Once… and I Couldn’t Stop Eating It!”

You know those recipes that don’t just taste good—they **stick with you forever**? The kind that brings you back to simpler times, like summer afternoons, open kitchen windows, and the comforting smell of something delicious baking in the oven?

Well, this is **one of those recipes**.

It all started with my sweet elderly neighbor, Mrs. Ellen—a woman in her 80s who still wore aprons, tended to her roses every morning, and knew exactly how to make anyone feel at home. One afternoon, as I was bringing her some extra tomatoes from my garden, she smiled and said, *“Wait right here, I just made something you have to try.”*

A few minutes later, she handed me a warm plate of something sweet, golden, and slightly crumbly. One bite, and I was **hooked**.

## 🍽️ A Dish Made with Love (and Simplicity)

The recipe itself was deceptively simple. She called it her “**Southern-style baked dessert**”—though I’m pretty sure it went by different names depending on who you asked. Somewhere between a cobbler, a crisp, and a pudding, it was **buttery, soft, and bursting with warm fruit flavor**.

It didn’t rely on fancy ingredients—just pantry staples and a bit of seasonal fruit (peaches or apples were her favorites). But the real secret? That little extra sprinkle of cinnamon and love in every bite.
