Last week I made an apple pie. It was the first apple pie I have ever made! We just aren't big "pie people" I guess. I have made chocolate pecan several times. And last summer I made a couple of peach pies from the fresh peaches we picked at the you-pick farm-and they were yummy! But I have never made apple pie.
And wonder of wonders, I actually made homemade crust for the first time!
It actually was pretty easy (although not exactly pretty). That light spot in that crust is BUTTER, see it? No shortening, just butter so I though I'd give it a try. And it tasted pretty good too. I probably should have rolled it out a bit thinner but no one complained!
It was topped with what was called a butter crumb topping instead of a crust. It was so sweet that it was almost too much. Maybe if I had cut smaller pieces it wouldn't have been too much.... Next time I may half the topping though.
I know people have been baking pies for ages but I still felt all proud like I was Betty Crocker or something! Luke had been gone for a month and I wanted to make something special. And it was!
