As promised, this is my apple pie.
When it comes to pies, I am more of a purest in terms of design. I really like the rustic look and the flavor speaks for itself. So, go pick some apples and try this recipe today:-)

And, if you have left over pie crust, make Poor-Man Cookies. It is another recipe my mother-in-law gave me. She got it from her mother. They grow up on a farm in Kansas and nothing was wasted...NOTHING. Besides recycling pie crust, they are really good. Give this a try:
Directions:
1. Roll out leftover pie crust on a cookie sheet.
2. Brush with enough milk until it pools in places.
3. Generously sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
4. Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown.
5. Break into pieces and enjoy.
I have never been a fan of desserts that don't involve chocolate. But after making Pioneer Woman's Apple dumplings, I am beginning to have a change of heart.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an easy recipe - something I can get Katie to make. And the pie crust looks really easy too.
Thanks!
Holy Cow that looks AWESOME!!! I love making Apple Pies!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet tooth!

That pie looks DELICIOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I can do that! I never ever thought I'd have a can of Crisco in my house, but since I'm a fan of homemade versus store bought (all the preservatives!), it looks like I might have to bring a can home and try this out! Especially for the cookies.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI wish you would have taken a picture of your pie cut:) It looks so good!
Renee
I would have taken a picture once it was cut but the pieces went to fast!! Sorry:-(
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome. I can almost taste it. This pie makes me wish that I was able to bake. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteOMG, that looks sooo good.
ReplyDeleteOh me, Oh my - that is one delicious looking Apple Pie! (sorry could not resist). Can I omit the cinnamon - I am allergic???
ReplyDeleteI love to bake pies. I will try your recipe. I can smell it from here.
ReplyDeletePackers beat the Vikings. Woohoo!!!
Hmmm, I have been meaning to do something with the asian pears we have. Maybe this would be just the treat!
ReplyDeleteMy MIL uses pears all the time in her apple pie. That's a great suggestion!!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...I am gonna have to try this recipe out!! I am an apple pie fanatic!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I think I just accidentally licked my monitor! YUM-O (the recipe, not the monitor)!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYum. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteI am so awful at baking. Funny thing is that I can cook - well, I might add. My mother can bake - more than well...But I can't bake and she sure can't cook (although she might try to defend that).
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! It has been so much fun!!
GORGEOUS PIE!!! ohmigod. don't do this to me, it's only day 3. haha!
ReplyDeleteoh that looks so good. my husband hates cinnamon and chocolate.. I have such a hard time finding sweets for him.. we end up with cheesecake every time.
ReplyDeletethat looks so good... thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking this - perfect dessert for Thanksgiving! It used to be the dessert I always made. The pie crust still intimidates me, but maybe I'll give it a shot one of these days. (I always used Pillsbury - ssshhhhh) :)
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy!

Beautiful pie! I only learned to like apple pie about 2 years ago. We always made those poor man cookies growing up--they were the best. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined in the Holiday Food Fest. I'm excited to be one of the hostesses!

LOL- memories - to make our poor man's cookie, my mom would butter, cinnamon, and sugar the leftover pie crust and roll it up into little cinnamon roll looking cookies. They were delish! I am making mini pumpkin pies soon so these are in my future :)
