    How Make this Easy Apple Pie Recipe

    A Simple Comfort Food Recipe

    I don't think there is a way to go wrong with Apple Pie.  No way at all.  In fact, even as I type this up, at nearly 10:30 at night... I'm seriously considering heading downstairs to get the second to the last piece of apple pie.  Warmed up in the oven and a nice big spoonful of vanilla ice cream added... because it just wouldn't be the same without it.

    Apple Pie is a great comfort food.  And who doesn't need a little bit of comfort, and hey... if it comes in the form of my Mom's Apple Pie, all the better.

    Easy Apple Pie Recipe makes this comfort food fall favorite a breeze to make when company is coming over. No hassle apple pie recipe is perfect for the new baker.

    You can't get better than a home-cooked meal, mashed potatoes with gravy and apple pie.   Apple pie with apples right from my apple tree in the back yard, I might add.  Our trees are finally producing.

    So... we enjoyed comfort in apple pie and family.

    Easy Apple Pie Recipe makes this comfort food fall favorite a breeze to make when company is coming over. No hassle apple pie recipe is perfect for the new baker.

    Without further ado, I give you Mom's Apple Pie Recipe.  No need to keep looking for the apple pie recipe your mom used to make.  I will let you in on a little secret... we like to cheat and use store-bought refrigerated pie crust.  No harm, no foul, right?

    That being said, I do use fresh apples--whether I'm picking them from my own trees, from a u-pick orchard, a farmer's market or the grocery store.

    There is a handy trick if you use apples a lot in cooking. Invest in an apple peeler. These handy tools save you HUGE amounts of time AND work really well.

    Here is the apple peeler I use...and let me tell you, it is well worth the twenty or so buck investment.

    BUT... I would like to know:

    What is your favorite pie crust recipe?  Share the link with me in the comments, because I need to find a great pie crust!

      I'm so sorry to hear about you MIL. I hope she's feeling better, and what a blessing that your parents were with you during a difficult time.

      Your mom's apple pie looks gorgeous! I think apple pie recipes are like chocolate chip cookie or brownie recipes. There's no "wrong way" to make it, and I love reading and trying as many recipes as possible. I have a favorite pie crust recipe, but it's been adapted over the years so unfortunately there's no link I can provide for you. Right now the recipe is a series of notes/chicken scratch in my recipe notebook. But what I do know off the top of my head is that it's made with 100% butter (no shortening), and there's a whole heck of a lot of it!

      Google Aunt Viola's Pie Crust. I tried it recently and loved it. I did substitute 1/4 cup of the shortening for butter.
