Nena's First Apple Pie of the Fall
In our house, there's only one baker. And it's not me. Baking just requires a level of precision and adherence to ratios and recipes that I'm simply not capable of. I always put a little extra of this or that in when I'm cooking. Do that when you're baking, and you could end up with a horrific result.
Nena, on the other hand, is quite a baker. It's one of the things that I fell in love with early in our relationship. Between my cooking (and hers as well) and her baking, we are a complete culinary set. She completes me. Cliche? Yes. But true.
And, after our trip to the Hudson Valley Saturday, we had a lot of apples laying around.
Above, you can see the delicious result of her work. I think this was her best crust yet. I say "was" because the pie is gone already, shared with friends and in my belly.
do you ship to CA?

this picture is cruel and unusual punishment for those of us woefully inept at the art of pie making. ;)

It's also cruel and unusual punishment for those of us stuck in an office miles away from the nearest pie.
I can almost smell the pie in that picture.

To quote 30 Rock, "Me want food!" (Specifically, Nena's apple pie)
Remind me to send you the recipe for the apple ring pancakes I made on Sunday. mmmmmm........

Mmmm, is that a homemade crust? Love apple pie.

Damn, Nena's pie makes the one I so proudly featured on my blog recently look like I shaped the crust with my feet! It tasted good, though, so that's what counts. Right? Right?
