My First Pie: Apple

A sweet friend gave us a ton of apples a few weeks ago.  I used most of them for these...

Then I asked Jeremy if there was anything else he'd like for me to make with them.  His answer: apple crisp.  Easy enough.  Well, when I went to collect the ingredients, I didn't have everything, so I took a deep breath and decided to try a pie.  Mind you, the only pie I ever attempted was our first year of marriage (five years ago), and it in tears with a trip to the store to get a pre-made crust.  

But, I found this recipe, and decided it was a blend of a crisp and a pie and just might work.  It did. Probably too well...

By that I mean, the recipe was delicious.  Buttery, with a crunchy cinnamon sugary top and the perfect consistency of apples in the middle.

Clearly it wasn't my doing.  But, I do think you need to give this recipe a try.  I've been asked to make it again for Thanksgiving.  Let's cross our fingers that it goes well a second time!

There's nothing quite like a warm dessert with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
