Thank you so much for posting this! I remember going to the Apple Tree Shanty when I was a kid. I loved the waitresses dressed in their Dutch costumes. Back then, they actually had cards on the tables with the recipe for their bbq sauce, and that made it's way to my mothers recipe file. Unfortunately, my recipe file was lost during a move many years back, along with this wonderful sauce. So happy to have found it again!
