PIE FIXES EVERYTHING....SAYS THE LITTLE SIGN IN MY KITCHEN!

I'm a pie freak...Love building them as much as eating them... It's true..."Pie Fixes Everything"... Hard for me to make a pie without turning it into an Art project though...

Used Cortlands for this pie...with a little crumb topping to set off the leaves and acorn...





This one didn't stick around long...MMMmmmmm... of course it's better warm AND with a little ice cream....


We eat with our eyes first don't we?...wish I could learn to just stop there!, but what fun would that be!!!!. Happy beginning to another week! xoxo~Kathy.

    What a gorgeous looking pie! I am having difficulty with my pastry lately...maybe the weather? Yours looks delicious, and the filling nice and deep!

    I love pie! It is my favorite thing - I always have a birthday pie instead of cake. Yours looks scrumptious!

    Kathy, Kathy, Kathy. That last close up had me going at my monitor with a fork. This looks delicious.

    Today's my birthday, and I now consider this my birthday pie! Thanks.

    Oh, my gosh. You are so creative. Wish I could have a bite. I'm going to share this idea with my daughter. She loves to bake, too. Thank you.

    Gorgeous!! I do the same thing with pies. I saw it several years ago on the Martha Stewart Show and thought it was such a good idea. I think yours are prettier though. :)

    What a work of art! Thank goodness you took a pic, or it would be eaten and then gone forever! I can't make pie crusts worth a damn.

    Hi Kathy, it's lovely to meet you here! Thanks for stopping by with encouraging words. Love, love, love this pie.....but, what's Cortland's? I'm in Australia and I've got a feeling that we're missing out on something fabulous! The apple looks amazing.....deep and abundant. A pie this good could, indeed, fix anything. Meredith xo.
