Happy Thanksgiving :-)

I can only recall one Thanksgiving time when we had any snow...

Thank you! I’ll check in later in the week to wish you one!

BTW, the leaves on the pie did not droop. Of course, the middle didn’t set properly to make up for the leaves looking gorgeous...

This is an unusual old-timey apple pie recipe---baked w/ a homemade caramel sauce.

GRANDMA'S APPLE PIE

SAUCE Stir to paste 1/2 c melted sweet butter, 3 tb flour. Add 1/2 c ea sugar, br/sugar. 1/4 c water (or apple juice); BTB; simmer 5 min to thin caramel-like syrup. DO NOT COOL.

ASSEMBLY Layer in 9" pie pan, bottom crust, 8 peeled sliced Granny Smiths, mounded lightly. Cover w/ lattice crust.

FINAL Gently pour Sauce into apples then brush some over crust (bakes to crispy glaze). Pour slowly so it doesn't run off. Bake on sprayed/foiled sheetpan 15 min 425 deg. Reset to 350 deg; bake 35-45 min.

CHEF TIP I have never had an apple pie like this--It is amazing! I toss the apples with cinnamon and use half bourbon/ half water. Add 1/4 tea salt--just a touch of salt to sweet dishes helps bring out flavor! But no matter the alterations, the magic is in its preparation! Pouring the liquid over the latticework crust creates a crunchy topping; liquid baking inside almost caramelizes. I wanted to call this "caramel apple pie". What a great submission! Far and away THE best apple pie I have ever tasted!
