Shooting Star Apple Pie



This is the second apple pie I have ever made in my entire life.  I think I tried making one when I was 18 or 19.  At the time, I had no clue that over kneading pastry dough ruined it.  That early pie was disgusting.

I made some pastry dough the other night for a leftover Turkey pot pie recipe I got from The Pioneer Woman.  (On a side note, this was the most delicious pot pie dish I have ever had.)

I had some leftover dough and some wonderful green Golden Delicious apples I had picked up from Wally World of all places.  I unfortunately do not have a picture of this first epically delicious Pie.

My husband declared my first pie such a success that he demanded an encore.

This is my second Apple Pie.  I used the apple pie recipe from the Joy of Cooking, passed down to me from my grandmother.  I call this the Shooting Star Apple Pie.  I handcut all of the little stars on top of the crust.  I think the next pie that I make I would like to make the entire covering from little stars.  I think this would look amazing on a blueberry or cherry pie.  But unfortunately I have passed beyond the season of fresh delicious cherries or blueberries, so I will have to wait until next year. 

mmmmmmm . . .  pie for the holidays!
