My favorite fruit pie! Warm, fresh out of the oven!😀
I LOVE Applestrudel! After several attempts over the years, I still haven’t made a batch to my own satisfaction
When I can afford it, my experiments continue.
**A “thousand” years ago, there was a very popular song called “God didn’t make little green apples”.
That seems like a cozy, fictional time in a country that doesn’t exist anymore
My dad loved two desserts more than anything, strawberry shortcake and apple pie. He also wanted them when he was in the mood, which was pretty frequently. Consequently, mom, and then my sisters and I, all learned to make those fairly quickly.
Apple pie takes about an hour to bake, so all he had to do was tell us in the late afternoon that he wanted apple pie for dessert, and it was ready and served after dinner.
I have never entered a state fair contest, but sometimes I think I should. I have been told I make some of the best apple pie. The crust is near perfection. If you have the option, use three different kinds of apples: one tart kind, one sweet kind, and any other kind.
I know some people use only Granny Smith apples in their pies, but that’s not my cup of tea. I think my best pie had Johnagolds, Cameos, and I think a Cortland, but I don’t quite remember. Just use a few different kinds depending on what’s available. It’ll make the tastiest pie!
My favorite pie! A little warm (not hot). Vanilla ice cream. Heavenly.
Not big on other apple things, though.
Always my husband’s favorite and he requested it for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas - when my family would have pumpkin, mince or pecan pies.
Me? I like banana cream - and one year got a chocolate cream pie for Thanksgiving - guess what everyone at the table wanted? Husband still took the apple, as always...
