A Spiced Apple Pie

A feast for the eyes

A feast for the eyes, a good apple pie embodies the transition to fall. After a long day of splitting and stacking wood, nothing beats a well earned delicious slice of apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I particularly enjoy this apple pie from David Tannis. Depending on my mood, I play around with the crust. Sometimes I keep it as one whole piece, other times, I basket weave it or play with shapes—feel free to get creative.
