Because few things in life are sweeter than an almost 13 month old little girl and a warm, homemade apple pie…
This Sunday is our much anticipated neighborhood fall festival. There will be apple bobbing, hayrides, and of course, a costume parade. There will also be a charity cake auction. Desperate to “get-in” with the other neighborhood moms, I eagerly volunteered to make a pie.
After comparing dozens of recipes, I finally settled on one and spent the next four hours trying to come up with a snazzy name for my apple pie. A name that would make my pie a winner; a name that would bring in the big bucks and make me the talk of the neighborhood. Finally, I settled on “Classic Apple Pie”. Ok, I know, nothing exciting, but how can you go wrong with a pie that has “classic” in the title?! I figure my biggest competition will come from some other pie that will be named “Granny’s famous _____ pie”.
Anyways, last night, G and I did a run-through of the recipe. We cored, peeled, and sliced 8 cups of Granny Smith and McIntosh apples. After baking for an hour, we sat back and enjoyed our first ever attempt at apple pie. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but this “classic” pie puts “granny’s” to shame…
Yay! Looks beautiful, Carly! Can I have a piece?! Can’t wait to see pics of your weekend! I saw sweet MR on E’s slideshow… precious… just precious!!
Being from the “Classic City”, the apple pie could have no other name. Makes me really want a piece and I think I will take it with just a little ice cream to top it off. Glad you have perfected the recipie. Now we will take one for Thanksgiving!
I am missing MR and Sadie!
Don’t make me have to drive down there…that pie looks delicious, but you are our little baker! That sweet G, he is the best helper. I want an apple pie AND a G.
Oh my lord, that pie looks so good!!! I have to have one…now….
Can’t wait to see pictures from this weekend! And I am sure you won’t need to win anything to get in good with those moms…
What a fun neighborhood you live in!!
Personally, I prefer the simple name because it allows the pie to speak its own volumes. Approach is humble, delivery is exceptional!
It looks absolutely beautiful! I’m really impressed. I have never had a good pie-making experience. I just can’t quite get them right. Maybe I can learn from Chef Carly!
Hope y’all have fun this weekend. Looking forward to pics!
Makes me want to bake a GF Apple Pie…
