It seems as though those decorative crusts are all the rage now, and I wanted to give it a try on my classic Apple Pie. It is kind of fun, I just used my oak leaf cookie cutter and my apple cookie cutter. I used red colored sugar on the apples.
Whenever I make apple pies, I always think of my brother-in-law Tom. He loved apple pie. When I brought them to family gatherings, he always tried to take it all for himself. I got so that I brought 2 pies, one for everyone else and one for Tom. Apple Pie was always my Christmas gift to him. Isn't it funny how those little things come back to you as a warm memory after you lose someone? I am so grateful that he was in our lives.
I always make my apple pie filling from scratch. The consensus in our extended family is that scratch is what tastes best. Scratch =Delicious, Canned=Not so good. I already shared how I make my pie filling on this post, but it is pared down a little because there is less room for the filling in that pie. I will now give you the recipe for filling a full Apple Pie! You will want to bake it tomorrow to be ready for Thanksgiving.
If you want to see the making of the top crust, here is a little gallery. Don't forget the crust recipe is here.
You can also see how I decorated a blackberry pie,here.
We will have one more pie post tomorrow, take a break for Thanksgiving, and then we have some amazing Christmas ideas and tutorials in store for you! I am so excited about some of them that I can hardly keep myself from publishing them all at once!
Tomorrow's post is a different spin on pie and one you will want to use after Thanksgiving! So, check back tomorrow. I will wish you a Happy Thanksgiving then! Don't forget to start your Black Friday Shopping Early and from the comfort of your chair and pajamas! Amazon Deals are already going on.
