Embrace the Pies

I've never made a pie before and this year I thought I'd give it a try!
I felt a little lot like Martha Stewart!
The pies were beautiful
The crust was flaky and yummy
And... here's the truth - if a recipe says there's a difference between apples and which ones are better for baking... THEY'RE RIGHT!  I of course didn't believe them and used my favorite variety which didn't bake up well and made for a less than delicious apple pie!  Oh well, I'll do better next year!

  1. Haha! That is SO me. Using my own fav apples...I'm horrible at pies..although I've never really made one. I just mastered cookies after years of burning them. Literally years. Thank you parchment paper!!! I can bake a perfect cookie now! I love these photos!

  8. Very cute pics... Oh and about the tree. I really think I might be a convert. We probably wouldn't do the train again, but it was so worth it. I have no idea how tall the tree is, but it's bigger than any we've ever had and it was $41.00.
