I planted a small apple tree in my front lawn just after I moved in. It really doesn't get enough direct sunlight but every year it almost breaks its own branches with bunches of apples.

Add sugar,cinnamon & a little this/that & mash together for the filling. I've started teaching my daughters (Age 10/11) to make food from scratch. The bottom pastry sheet was huge & very hard to get right.The top was a lot easier & with leftover we decorated it...They did a great job.

I've always been the cook for the family-my wife is Elly May when it comes to cooking & she's also about the same with critters and thats just one of the reasons I'm still in love...

Cheers!(edit for sp.)

It will be a fond memory (of the pie and you) that they will take with them into their senior years.

You is a good mama!

I used to hang around the kitchen when my mother was baking to catch the scraps left over...she would make tarts out of the leftover filling and dough and I wold be right there when they came out of the oven...
I think everyone should learn to cook from scratch...then you know what you are eating.
