No, really. I baked a pie.
It was delicious.
Pie Notes:
This is the… okay, I’m at work and forget what it’s called, but it’s something to the effect of “Brown Sugar Apple Pie” recipe out of that book I mentioned earlier. I just ordered myself a copy so that I can return my mother’s and not feel helpless in the face of pie.
When I make a plan about how to cut the apples, I need to follow that plan. I read somewhere (perhaps in the recipe) that you can get a lot more apple into your pie if you cut the apple into uneven pieces. I had it all planned out so that I’d get big pieces and small pieces and then forgot and did them all the same size. While not a major problem, it did cause the pie to settle a little more than I’d have hoped, leaving the top crust well above the filling.
Cortland apples work very well; one apple is approximately one cup of apple.
Apologies for the formatting; I can never seem to make so-called WYSIWYG blogging front-ends put images where I want them.
