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!
