That's OK ds2Mom,

I forgive you now.

You are fitting right in with the rest of us!

Just got home from the game,and Amy and I went to grab a bite and a beer afterward at "John's Bar" - not my bar, but a great place after a game (we won tongiht 34-20).

you know I think it is the whole banana time warp thing we were chatting about earlier. maybe it really wasn't us that did all the posting. maybe it was our alter egos. or better yet, maybe it was our DHs.

Always blame the DH....

 

[lbgraves]

That's a bit disturbing . . .

Did he lose one?

John1

What's sad is that John hadn't caught up by this point. Poor guy....did he even know what hit him? I have to keep reading to find out.

nope she is an uptight GS mom with a third grade and a college student.

well, now, I see what her possible problem might be! haha

Angie that is funny that you mentioned honeycrisp apples. Today we were going to an apple orchard/pumpkin patch thing. Dh and I wanted to go to this one that has a hay rack ride, pony rides, corn maze, face painting, apples, pumpkins, live music, and tons of apples and pumpkins. We pick up my Mom and she says she wants to go to this place that is further away and not nearly as much to do because she heard they have honeycrisp apples. she just can't stop talking about these honeycrisp apples. We said we'll go to the fun place, but if they don't have honeycrisps then we'll go to your place afterward. On the way there we passed at least 5 different farms or roadside stands selling honeycrisps, and then at the orchard of course they have tons of them. So we had to mock her a little bit! And now I have a bag full of honeycrips apples too. I have never made an apple pie, would you care to share your recipe?

RECIPE

Preheat overn to 450

CRUST

1 cup (two sticks) of butter, slightly softened
2 2/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon vinegar

Cut the butter, flour and salt with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly, then add the water and vinegar. With fingers quickly mix it just until moistened. Split in half. Roll out one half on floured breadboard. Fold in quarters, transfer to a deep dish pie pan and unfold.

Filling:

8 cups thinly sliced apples (honeycrisps are the BEST)
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon GOOD QUALITY cinnamon (I use Watkins brand and it makes a huge difference in the outcome of the pie)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of salt
few dashes of butter

Combine sugar, flour, spices and salt. Reserve just a little to sprinkle in the bottom of the pie crust, mix the remainder with the apples. Place the apple mixture in the pie crust, dot with butter.

Roll out second crust, fold in quarters, transfer to top of apple mixture in piepan, unfold. Seal the edges of the crusts together by pinching. With a sharp knife make some slits in the top to "vent" during cooking.

Brush top with a bit of water and sprinkle a little sugar over it.

Cover the edge of the crust all around with a think strip of foil, or with a pie cover if you have one. (this keeps the crimped edge of the pie from getting too dark)

Place pie in the oven and reduce the heat to 425. Bake 1 hour. About 10 min before the pie is done remove the foil from around the edge so it will brown also.

Remove from oven and put on a rack to cool.


MMMMM
