While my mom was here, we visited Rouster's Orchard, which is about a 30 minute drive from where I live. It's a family owned farm and their apples are really, really good.
So in keeping with my Fall mindset, I made apple crisp the other night; it's all gone. And today, I decided to make an apple pie. I used the recipe from Joy of Cooking for my apple filling and the traditional Crisco Recipe for my crust. I used the Deep Dish Double Pie Crust recipe as the pan I used is a little larger than most.
Now, I'm no "Martha Stewart", but I think it turned out pretty good for a gal whose pies usually fall around the Thanksgiving holiday in the pumpkin variety.
I've never quite learned how to make it look pretty. Maybe I need to make a few more......you know the old saying, "practice makes perfect."
Joy in cooking!
