We have a party to go to today and I made apple pie. I’ve made this pie a handful of times, no maybe two handful of times and it’s always a challenge. When it goes wrong it’s because I’ve cut into it too early and it’s not set. Or one time it was mixed too much. Another time I actually managed to burn it. I think it’s only come out right 3 times. And those times it was DELICIOUS!! I made one for Alan’s Christmas party at work last year and one of Alan’s coworkers said it was the best apple pie he’s ever had.

This is not as pretty as the first time I made apple pie. That was the first and ONLY time I cut out individual leaves. There were 58 of them and it took FOREVER. I learned: never again. I simply don’t have the time. This pie was a challenge too. The butter was too cold and wasn’t mixed in well and towards the end Isabelle started to fuss. Let’s hope it tastes good.
