My First Apple Pie

Welcome to my blog! I'm excited to get started and share with you all. My first post....APPLE PIE!

So I have been married now a few months, a little over three to be exact, and I really feel like a grown up now more than ever. You know, bringing a salad to supper with friends, making the green bean casserole for Thanksgiving, etc. Stuff I remember seeing my mom, aunts, and grandmas do when I was a little girl. Now I am doing it!

Now, I have always been intimidated by pie. The crust must be flaky and light, the filling juicy but not too moist or the crust will be soggy, and baking it for the right amount of time and not burning anything...scary. But my mom has inspired me this weekend by sending me an apple corer/slicer/peeler! It was taking me forever to do all those steps with a paring knife- now it's no time at all! Ahhhh.

First of all I didn't even have any pie plates so I had to use tinfoil pans, and I had to split the crust recipe in half so I wasn't sure if it'd be ok....the apples seemed a bit wet when I folded them together with the spices, I was only supposed to have enough apples for one pie but ended up with enough for two, OH, and the pies baked way faster then they were supposed to. But I made 'em - and they were very delicious! I was so relieved. I just wanted to be able to make a pie as well as my momma and I think she would've been proud.
