When Life Gives You Apples…

Okay okay, so it’s straight up badness, but OMG soooo goood!  It was my FIRST ever attempt at homemade pie from scratch.  I googled for a recipe and it turned out beautifully!  I’m not even going to bother sharing it because it’s the exact opposite of healthy ;-) 

I never knew I could make pie!!!  Now that I have, the next time I will try a much healthier crust of an oatmeal variety methinks.

Thank goodness I gave one away ;-)

Definitely making it again in 28 years when I can allow myself to eat LARD again! lol ;-)

I have NEVER used lard to make a pie. The thought of that grosses me out... vegetable shortening...

Jen said...

Sorry that I didn't eat any of your apples like I said I would!!! I don't think many fruits passed my lips that week!!!

Those look AMAZING!!!! Absolutely delicious!!!!

Some of the best tasting things in life have ingredients a person doesn't want to think about in them. Sometimes it's best to just sit back and enjoy a piece!!!

(Did you by any chance send the pie my way??? ;) Kidding!)

Tanya: dear I totally know! I am bothered by the fact there is still a TUB of it downstairs with my baking stuff!

Jen: yes my dear you left me high and dry in the apple department! ;-) If I wasn't pressed for time before you guys all arrived I would have had some pies baked and ready to go!

What s splurge: Thanks for stopping by to leave me a comment!!! :-) One of my favourite parts of Fall is the honeycrisps! (and the poms). Thanks for the sweet comment ;-)

Cilla: I have heard this about vinegar! I will have to try that too!

Shirls: there's something about the "Mom's" part that makes it extra good!
