Apples Abound...

We have an abundance of apples.  We bought a 1/2 peck of Johnathon apples, which my kids thought were too tart.  So I made a pie.

I'm still getting over shingles, so I cheated and bought a pie crust.  This is a Westmorland Pie, the recipe is from Southern Living.  The recipe calls for a crumb crust, but my husband balked at that.

I did cut little leaves out of the top crust and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar.  It was wonderful.

Then my in laws returned from the smokies with a 1/2 peck of apples.  Not sure what type.  So I made my favorite skillet apple pie.  This is not my recipe, it is a variation from a Martha Stewart recipe.  Hers called for pears.  I don't like pears.  I grew up on the local sand pears (YUK).

I still have apples left.  Haven't decided what to make next.

Happy baking
