It's Fall so it's Apple Pie
I was going to do a great story on how to make an apple pie. I had it all in my mind yesterday and I got the camera out and began taking pictures. Of course you must use firm and tart green apples. Granny Smith is my favorite. I usually make the crust first but this time since I was going to show my granddaughter how to make a pie, I peeled the apples first and added the sugar and cinnamon. No need to teach that part. I knew she knew how to peel a few apples. I measured the ingredients carefully for the crust and waited for Lauren to come home from high school. But when she breezed in around 2pm I discovered she always does homework first. A good habit I was not going to interrupt. Since we had dinner plans, I went ahead and chopped the shortening into the flour, added the salt and ice water and rolled out some beautiful crusts. I did not, however, remember to photograph this step. So my story is going to be: Take picture #1...
