"Don't get fancy," she would say. "It doesn't have to be pretty to taste good. When you make something, you eat it whether it comes out the way it was supposed to or not!" That's great advice, but McCreedy made sure her recipe for Grandma's Dutch Apple Pie was both delicious and attractive. McCreedy was one of three prize winners in a recipe contest at the Iowa State Fair.
