Michelle and Ryan are hosting a pie party this afternoon so I decided to bake a traditional apple pie. I actually made the crust from scratch and I LOVE the new French rolling pin that I bought last weekend. Next came the apple filling, which was covered with the top crust and a sprinkling of cinammon and sugar, and then I “put it in the oven for baby and me”. (Haha – that’s a line from “Patty Cake” in case you didn’t know.)

When it came out, it was golden brown and still bubbling inside. In fact, as I was admiring my creation, I noticed that there were little spirals of steam coming out of the vents I cut and thought, “Wow! It’s just like in the cartoons!” All I needed was an open window sill for Tom and Jerry to steal it. So, the final test is this afternoon when I cut it open and serve it to my friends. I also made my Mommy’s Famous Cheesecake as back-up but hopefully they’ll both be winners.
