APPLE PIE!

Hi, my name is Ali, I am 31 years old, and have never made an apple pie. One of my co-workers gave me a big bag of apples from her parents tree so today my 6 year old and I just made 2 apple pies.

My house now smells like heaven and I have a beautiful pie cooling on the rack with smoke streaming off the top like a commercial.

We are going to my parents house for dinner tonight and I am going to bring one of the pies for dessert. My father, the pie master, will be OOOHHHHHHH so impressed.

Best part of it is....I hate pie.....
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Apple pie is the best. We went apple picking last weekend, went a little overboard. Went home with THIRTY-FIVE POUNDS of apples!!! I have made 3 pans of apple crisp so far....maybe a pie or two is in the future.

    My niece went apple picking and made apple pie & apple crisp.

    She is bringing some over tomorrow.

    Well, I can't hurt her feelings. I have to try them. :noway:

    Oh I love APPLE PIE!!!!! Yummy! Congrats on making it.

    I love a simple Apple Crisp recipe that a friend of mine gave me and she uses it in a nursing home.

    You take one or two cans of apple pie filling and put it in a greased baking dish. Then you simply melt some butter, add oatmeal and brown sugar until its crumbly. Then spread that over top of the apples and sprinkle with a slight bit of cinnamon and sugar. Bake long enough until the top is golden brown. Its very good! Although I'm sure high in calories, but I assume that it could be lowered by using healthy substitutes such as splenda brown sugar and splenda, etc.

    I need to go by a yankee candle now...my mouth is watering!

    I wish they would make apple pie filling that wasn't crunchy!! I make a cornstarch, water, sugar, vanilla glaze to toss my fresh apples in. Then I top them with real butter (bad I know, but SO good), oatmeal, brown sugar, flour, and cinammon. Yup, pretty much right up there with good lovin! :blushing:

    My mother in law and me always make lots of apple sauce during this season. My hubby loves to eat applesauce for breakfast. So we freeze alot of it and then I always have some. He heats his up I prefer mine cold so I usually dont eat to much of it. We dont add any sugar or butter until hubby heats it up so it is actually very good for you.
