An American Staple..Apple-icious Pie!

Yuummmy!!

I've always made this from scratch for Thanksgiving along with a Pumpkin pie but today we learned
a different way to make them. I normally cut and peal the apples and create the sugar creation with the sugar, cinnamon, etc :) But today we used the canned apples and we created our sauce by boiling the juice with our cornstarch mix, then  incorporating the sugars and spices.  This was a fun project. We each made our own pie's but worked in groups to create the filling. Yesterday we created our different pie doughs. We made a mealy dough for the bottom of the pie and a flaky dough for the top. I cant wait to taste this later this evening. Its so pretty I don't even want to cut it ;)

Its FUN to hear everyones preference in class. A lot of people don't like apple pie! Shock! Then there are some who don't care for chocolate and don't care for cookies. Craziness! I'm really going to have to join a gym because I love it ALL. I'm not sure if we will ever make anything that I wouldn't eat and thoroughly enjoy. That's me with the crazy sweet tooth! If you want the recipe for the Apple Pie, let me know.

I had a quiz today in technique and I missed two which is horrible! There were only 15 questions. That gave me an automatic "B". What's with my brain?? Ok, granted, its been a LOOONG time since I have been to school, but I should still be able to retain! laughing.. its ok. I am happy with it and more than anything, I am
really, truly LOVING school. I look forward to all the creations to come!

Enjoy your weekend! Relax and unwind because come Monday we will all be at it again.
Sending you hugs,
Linda

  4. Ahh too late! Cut and eaten as of last night :). And yes, you are right, if Sal would have taken the test I would have gotten an "A". bummer.. too bad he's so far away. And Apple Pie is delicious so I will take that "A" instead. xoxo
