APPLE PIE!
Today, around 6:30 pm, I developed an insatiable craving for apple pie. Despite the fact that I am supposed to be studying for a big exam in Houston (on Wednesday. opps), I packed up the girls and we went to the grocery store.
I needed: 1) apples 2) cornstarch 3) nutmeg 4) unsalted butter 5) piecrust 6) vanilla ice cream
I left with: 1) apples 2) cornstarch 3) nutmeg 4) unsalted butter 5) piecrust 6) vanilla ice cream 7) chips 8) hamburger meat 9) taco shells 10) oatmeal 11) gum
I got home and chase was already hard at work cooking dinner:
and I got ready to put together the pie!
It was about now that I figured out you have to peel the apples....I hate peeling. I'm always scared I'm going to slice off a fingertip.
The whole time I'm doing this, i'm going "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and the veins are popping out in my neck.
I've started drinking by this point:
Maybe if I have a beer in me, I won't be as concerned when my fingertips are bleeding all over the newly peeled apples...
so chase got called in to help:
almost done!
Ms HelpyHelperton is there:
She got a stray peel. horaah!
Now the apples are covered in sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, a bit o flour, and nutmeg.
and poured put into the pie crust...
in case you didn't see, those are butter patties...
and now it bakes for 45 minutes.
aaaaannnnd, tah dah!
oh my.
That is sugar free blue bell, by the way. And the apples totally make it healthy :)
