The other day my husband and uncle and I went and picked some apples from my mother-in-law and father-in-law's apple tree. I had been reading a blog with recipes on it and came across an apple pie recipe and printed it out. I have NEVER baked a pie in my life! But I want to try new things and so when my mother-in-law mentioned the apple tree I was giddy with excitement over picking apples to bake a pie!
Well my creationg turned out wonderfully! My husband doesn't usually like apple pie (or anything with baked apples) but this pie he loved! He said we'll have to go pick more apples and I will have to bake another one!
