Apple Pie


AMAZING APPLE PIE
p. 142 HIAV
Prepared 12/27/09


We knew our friends were coming and so we baked them a pie! They love pie, or so they tell me. I've never actually made apple pie (I don't eat it, so...), and in truth I didn't do all that much with this one, other than oooh and aaah at our Christmas-gift apple slicer/peeler doohickey as the males busted it out of its box and put it to good use. Magical contraption, that.

Our friends' comments included, "Full of cinnamon flavor and just sweet enough!" and "The apples were just right." My candid partner said, "This would be a lot better with better apples."

The apples in this recipe are boiled prior to adding spices and whatnot-- I'd never heard of this before. Everyone seemed to like it and some people even had a slice for breakfast the next morning. Store-bought crust; Christmasy and dog bone shapes on top complements of a five year old.
