We picked 4 buckets of apples recently and have been working on canning up homemade applesauce. You really can't compare homemade to store bought especially when we make it chunky style (SO good!). The kids have been loving it and it's nice knowing we have some put away for a little while. We had a few left over apples and Sunday was one of those dark, cold, windy, rainy, miserable kinda days where you don't want to do anything but stay home. So....I talked my darling husband into helping me make an apple pie. If I haven't mentioned it before, my husband is an incredible cook. He is very advanced in the kitchen and while the idea of making an apple pie from scratch is intimidating for me, it's easy peasy for him. We followed an Alton Brown recipe fairly closely (he's a favorite around here) and wound up with a pretty great pie. There are a few things the Mr. said he will do/try differently next time but I was pretty proud of us for a first attempt.
And I love the pie bird!
