Makin' Apple Pie with the Apples of My Eye

As Ros mentioned earlier...while in South Carolina for "Fall 1/2 the family Fun Fest" we went to an apple orchard. Papa was very good to pick out 1/2 peck of apples. All the apples were up too high for us and the wasps/bees made the girls nervous. So all the responsibilty fell to papa. He got some great apples.

We brought our 1/2 peck home and made an Apple Pie Sunday afternoon.

Thanks to Aunt Rosalind's handy-dandy Apple/Corer/Slicer each of the kids got to put a little elbow grease into the pie. They loved using this semi-simple (not easy to clean) machine. They thought it was cool.




Here is Kate showing the long "string" of apple peel she got off her apple.


Papa insisted on eating his "string" of apple peel.

All our apples ready for the other ingredients.

Gooey apples and stuff ready to go into the pie.

Here's our pie ready to go in the oven.

Is it ready yet?

YUMMY, YUMMY...can't wait to get that Apple pie in my TUMMY!!


(Thanks Chy for sharing your pie receipe. It was easy and yummy.)
