Wow...this has been just a terrific year for apples in our area. Our trees put out rather small apples, but they are intensely flavorful.
I made a passel of apple pies for Farmers Market tomorrow. I use a nice combination of apples(at least three varieties), sugar, add cinnamon, half that of nutmeg and allspice. I make an all-butter pie crust, that is just beyond belief good. No lard, no shortening. One has to be quite gentle with this crust, lest it turn tough. If done correctly, it beats all other pie crusts for flavor and texture, In my humble opinion.
I saved one pie back for us, and just had a small piece. Glorious! Thanking God for his good gifts.
