Cooking Win: Apple Pie

I became pretty comfortable making apple pies this winter. I've got my technique down and everything. I like 6 Granny Smiths to 3 Cortlands. Brown sugar. Cinnamon. Real nutmeg.

Damn, that makes the house smell good.





Is that a pie bird? Yup. That's how I roll.

And yes, that's fake crust. Real crust is a much, much bigger time commitment for only a slightly better product (although I might feel differently about it if someone bought me that KitchenAid stand mixer off my wish list...).
