Thanksgiving Day Hot Apple Pie


It was a lovely Thanksgiving day...a particularly lovely rustic apple pie...
There was the usual cast of characters...the Turkey and stuffing and gravy and two kinds of potatoes...mashed and sweet. Veggies galore...and no pictures or recipes used. The same in my head way of doing things for the last 30 odd years of making the dinner...Of course there was the pumpkin pie with softly whipped cream, there would be mutiny with out that.
I did try a new apple pie recipe which we loved...
Martha Stewart's Spiced Apple Pie....
I was going to make the top crust all cut out leaves. But instead of taking all that time I just made a simple top crust and etched in a tiny little apple and leaf at the very top of the pie. If you look closely you can see it...

We ate this warm with vanilla bean ice cream...it was a lovely pie. Apple pie is not always easy to get just right. This one was just right for Thanksgiving Day...and it is gone.

Here is a link to the complete recipe...I did mix my apples. Half Gala and half Granny Smith...

    Rustic is GOOD! This apple pie looks divine. Heavenly. Ethereal. Especially when it's basking in that glorious sunlight! Beautiful, Linda! Just beautiful!

    You're right about how it's not easy to get it right, but yours looks just perfect. One of my husband's favorite desserts.
