So, I am lookingto make apple pie. We are headed out to dinner tomorrow with some friends and I thought, 4th of July--let's make an apple pie. Well, pie is not my forte. I do a good lemon merangue (which I can't even spell) and I really like my pecan, but apple has always eluded me because it seems that the apples never cook. They are always hard and I really don't want that from my pie. Maybe others like it. I don't know.
Well, I'm going with better homes & gardens recipe. Maybe I'll precook the apples and see if that makes it any better. Of course my crust will be my new stand by of 3/4 c. crisco, 3/4 c. butter and 3 c flour. Then 2 tblsp on cold water. Works like a charm for a 2 crust pie.
Also, I baked some brownies the other day. I used Martha Stewart's recipe from her baking book. Really tasty but for some reason not as fudgy as usual. I used a new pan. It's plastic in the shape of a 3. I could only put 1/2 the recipe it. It was fun and the brownies taste great anyways. Yum...I love brownies. Probably more than a girl should....
