Let's Talk about Apple Pie

Pie.

Apple Pie to be precise.

Have you ever heard the phrase "as American as Apple Pie?"

Of course you have!  Everyone has, and every time I hear it, I hang my head in shame.  You see, I do not like apple pie.  I don't care for the soft, cooked fruit, or the squishy crust. 

However, I love the idea of apple pie.  I love the look of it, the smell, the flavors.  I love the idea of harvesting apples in the crisp cool autumn air and going home and slicing those apples up by hand and creating and apple pie.

Every time I am around one of these concoctions, I give it a try, determined that my taste buds will have matured to the point that I can start actually using the phrase "as American as apple pie" instead of hiding when it is used.

Well.

My time has come.  I have come up with THE best apple pie ever.  It is a crumbly topped pie, which I'll share pictures of when it's done.  I can truly say that I LOVE this pie.  And if you are of the apple pie hater club, I hope you give this one a try.  Recipe will come with picture of the finished loveliness tomorrow.

Tonight - I am celebrating.  Celebrating a humongous work week over.  Celebrating that I survived the dentist this morning.  (Don't tell him I came home and made a pie!) Celebrating with homemade chicken soup that is calling my name.  Celebrating by going on a date with my hubby.  We each have Barnes & Noble gift cards from Christmas calling our names.  And a fabulous looking new movie to catch.

See you soon!

My secret for apple pie is to run the apples through the food processor on the thinnest slice setting. That way they are paper thin and stack up like bricks. I can't stand thick apples in pie!

Sandi,

The new blog updates are gorgeous! It's the first thing that got me thinking about spring. (Yes, the warmer seather is still FAR away, but I know it will be here eventually.) Yes, I'm a reader - of course - and am really looking forward to seeing more photos of the pies, as well as the recipe. I'm a crumble-top fan, so I'm sure I'll love it.

Offcourse you do! You've dedicated an entire page to it. According to the photos, it looks delicious. Maybe you should start up a bakery.
