First apple pie today

Made the first one and tried out my new peeler, corer, slicer and it worked amazingly well and takes less than 20 seconds to do an apple and it's ready for the pie. It was so easy I might have overstuffed it a bit. It works on potatoestoo, you just move the corer out of the way.

Nice looking pie! I have a peeler just like that. I never thought of using it on potatoes…I’ll have to keep that in mind!

Just loosen the wingnut and move the corer out of the way and you are ready for potatoes.

It’s Pie Season ! Looking great Flippah

The wife uses Cortland apples …..what’s your apple of choice ?

It,s my first apple pie so I have only tried Michigan Gala in this one and I have not tasted it yet. I am like Sergeant Shultz, I know nothing!!

Thought you were the TMan pie guy…..what pies were you making last fall ?

I have made peach, blueberry and raspberry and now apple.

Granny Smith spoken here!

Turned out perfect Nessie, the Wife said she didn't know how it could taste any better.

Man that’s a good looking pie! We are having pumpkin pie and key lime pie today!

PIE. WHO SAID PIE

Mac's are the apple of choice in my area, both for pies, and cider.

Now I am confused...Do I drive to Indiana or Manitoba to score a piece of pie...or two?

If you can find them my wife go to apples for pie and apple sauce are Wolf Rivers. Very are to fine, no a good looking apple or good to eat free hand. Real old apple.

Happy Wife…happy life ! Looks good to me !

Looks good flipper. I have the same peeler, used it to put up apples for many years. I don't know what kind of apples are on our tree but they make great pie.

Granny Smith are by far my favorite pie apple.

Now you have me wanting an apple pie, flipper!

Great looking pie. Mac's are my choice. Unfortunately there aren't any orchards near me. A pilgrimage to the Scoharie Valley was a fall tradition.

Mmmmmmmmmm, that looks GOOD!

Very old family recipe. Made with Macintosh apples a couple days ago.

Love an apple pie

Well done people, keep those pies coming. I don't have a secret recipe and it's very easy and I promise it is good. Try this easy one.

We ended up having key lime tarts instead of pies. Still good though! But not nearly as good as all these apple pies!

Beautiful area of NYS

I like a mix of Granny Smith, Cortland, and Honey Crisp Apples. Along with Gourmet Cinnamon and Gourmet Nutmeg. None of that CHEAP store brand stuff !!

I use this stuff from King Arthur ….when a recipe calls for cinnamon…..great stuff !

The Vietnamese Cinnamon really makes the flavor come out in an Apple Pie !!

The best pie baker in our area (we're talking about the 40's and the 50's when all the church gals took pride in their baking skills) was Geraldine Drew. When I started planting apple trees in the early 80's I was told to ask Gerry which apple varieties to grow for pies. She recommended Spitzenburgs and Northern Spy as her two favorites.

But if you want a truly wonderful apple pie add a quince to the mix.
