Classic Apple Pie
This is the best apple pie in the world.
It’s the best apple pie I’ve ever had.
Crust from scratch, apples diced not too thin, the perfect amount of sugar and spice…
We created it, he and I.
He peeled and diced the apples and mixed everything together. I made the crust, laying the strips one across the other and slid it in the oven.
We both devoured it.
It was the best apple pie I’ve ever had.
And trust me, I know pie.
But I can’t give you the recipe.
You see, we made this pie. It’s a mix of both our favorites, the perfect combination of both pie tastes. Apples smaller than I wanted, bigger than he wanted. Lattice crust instead of crumbly like I prefer, and thicker than he likes.
And so really, it’s our pie. Our pie of love, if you want to get gushy.
But never mushy. Pies aren’t good mushy.
And so I can’t share, because I think that would take away some of it’s magic. Because like secrets, pies are much more delicious when they have a bit of magic, a bit of mystery to them.
But just know it’s a phenomenal apple pie.
And I’ll be making another one this weekend.
With his help, of course.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We have a new Dallas Jean and then a new whimsical Easter treat! Stay tuned!

How sweet you baked a pie together!
And what a lovely pie it is, although I want ice cream on my piece, please!

I sometimes worry that because of your blog I’m going to develop a severe addiction to pie.
This post did not help.
ps~ You two are adorable, as always.

You make me so pie-obsessive! Good thing I’m doing a lot of pie baking for Easter this year.
I wish my husband would help me with apple prep when pie baking! He stays out of the kitchen until it’s time to eat!

That is so sweet it makes my teeth hurt! LOL! How romantic!
April 1st, 2010 at 5:40 am
Wow, it looks amazing. I am so jealous of that pie right now.

It’s always better when the love of your life pitches in and you make something so special together!

My dad and I made a mean apple pie. I don’t believe I’ve made one without him…
April 1st, 2010 at 6:35 am
Awww baking together sounds like so much fun! Usually I’m the baker and my husband cooks dinner, but I’d love to see what we can make as a team! He LOVES apple pie and that looks delicious!

Now, this is one thing about me that I have to admit (publicly) eventually. I don’t know how to make the real authentic American apple pie, isn’t it embarrassing? I mean, I can make a decent pastry, well actually I can make a very good pastry, BUT, a real American pie? it’s pretty challenging. Maybe I just need to practice more, or maybe I just have to find one good recipe that will make me confident enough to make it. Anyway, each time you post this pies, it makes me want to go to Marie Callender’s (I know, right?) to grab one. Don’t tell anyone! lol!

Man, you are fancy with the crust!
April 1st, 2010 at 8:44 am
I only like pie filling for some reason; the crust just doesn’t appeal to me.
As for the waffle bar…if I put one together want to come over and dig in?!

What a cute pair you are and you sure make a tasty looking pie.
April 1st, 2010 at 11:58 am
Mmmm! Yes, we all know you are an authority on all things pie. Anything that’s Duckie approved has to be good!
April 1st, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Aww Duckie you won’t share?
What if I turn into the cookie stealing bunny?

Awwwww… what a sweet story!
April 1st, 2010 at 1:36 pm
There’s nothing like a good apple pie. Can you believe I never had apple pie until I was maybe 35 or 40?
April 1st, 2010 at 1:51 pm
You “guys” are just too cute. Does Penelope know the recipe? Make sure she doesn’t tell:)
Happy April, Duckie!!!
April 1st, 2010 at 2:22 pm

I kept waiting for you to say April Fool’s! And to reveal that it was really a store-bought pie, or a ceramic pie. But how lovely, it was a real pie! And you two made it together. How sweet!!
April 1st, 2010 at 6:39 pm
So sweet!!! I would love some of that with ice cream (or frozen yogurt). Mmmm!!
April 1st, 2010 at 8:09 pm
Another adorable post! Thank goodness I can’t bake, otherwise I’d weigh over a 100 kilos by now!
April 1st, 2010 at 9:43 pm
A home-made apple pie made out of love…no wonder it is the best apple pie ever!
April 1st, 2010 at 11:23 pm
There’s no pie, like the pie of love……………

You make such a pretty pie too!
April 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 am
Yummy! Cute photos of you two together.
Happy Easter! ~Melissa

Yum! I’ve grown to really like apple pies lately, but only the kind made from scratch.
April 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm
yummy!!!
April 2nd, 2010 at 6:17 pm
Now that’s one gorgeously perfect apple pie! I’m a big fan of the crumbly top too
April 5th, 2010 at 7:45 am
I’m certain my one twin Devon would agree with you on this pie! He adores apple pie. He can’t decide if dutch or lattice is his absolute fave.

What a fabulous pie – I am tempted to run out and make one myself.
