Apple Pie!

We made an apple pie today - a yummy new recipe!

I first read about it on Sarah Maughan's blog, here. She has some really good pictures of making the pie, and how it turned out.

The actual recipe is here.

The thing that's different about it is this - instead of mixing sugar and flour with the apples, you just put the apples (only) in the crust. Then you put a lattice on top. THEN you make a caramel sauce, which you pour over the whole thing.

It's delicious, and it isn't as runny as apple pie usually is. Plus, the caramel makes a wonderful bit of crunchiness on the top crust...maybe you should make it for Dad's birthday next Saturday!

We made an extra one for me to take to Literacy Council on Tuesday...I'm going to try to lure more people to come with an email that says, "Eat apple pie and earn PSU credit." Haha!

Arora was a big help with the apples. We used one of those peeler-corer-slicer gizmos to prepare the apples. It made it much easier since we doubled the recipe and had 16 apples to peel and slice.
