Here’s an easy and quick recipe from the Ada sesquicentennial cookbook from 2002. It’s just in time for all those apples you don’t know what to do with.

It was a day of thirds as the Ada High School Marching Band competed in their 3rd competition on Oct. 17 at the Piqua Band Invitational.
Ada High School’s Pac-Man-themed competition show placed 3rd overall out of 11 bands competing in the combined Class B (301-500 students) and C (less than 300 students) grouping.
The color guard received individual 3rd place recognition as well.
This is a gold medal year for fall colors in Ada. Trevor Jones, ONU Office of Communications and Marketing photographer, took this photo on campus earlier this week. Watch the Icon for more autumn scenes of ONU later this week.
That's David "Rico" Rodriguez waving from the cupola of Van's Corner at State Route 235 and Old Route 30 located north of Ada.
He's showing all Icon readers the major work that has been done on the building in recent weeks to turn the structure into a family restaurant called Cherico's.
Several historical parts of the building have been retained, such as the pine floor and cupola.
The photo shows an expanded dining area with the roofline extended on three sides for open air-dining.
In addition, the second floor will be turned into an eating area.
