Watching our orchard apples ripening, I got so hungry for an apple pie that I decided to take a few minutes and make one. None of ours were ripe yet so I grabbed five Pink Lady apples from the store bag on the counter. Peeling them took the longest, but in only fifteen minutes they were all peeled. I mixed in the sugar, cinnamon, and flour and let them sit in the bowl while I made the crust. I dropped the lower crust into the pie pan and then rolled out the top crust. I always make a double wheat marking on the top crust, like Mom used to do, for a vent.<\/p>\n

While I baked the pie, I packed two seed orders so I could mail them out tomorrow. We always send them the day after the order arrives. We like to keep our customers very happy! Smelling a pie, I checked and yep, the pie was done. Mmmm, how good it smelled.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to eat it, along with a wedge of nice sharp cheddar cheese. Will better not be late coming in from the field tonight! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
