To The Pleasure Of Eating Well..

Or Au plaisir de bien manger..

Sunday..before my day started out and about I read her blog and her apple pie was the apple of my eye!



Instead of blackbird..whitebird:)



I know this "billet" is long winged:)

But I loved the light..the pie.. the bird!

La recette~


Enough pie dough for 2 large pies

ap 10-12 apples.. core removed,peeled and cut up.
1 1/3 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsps of butter
1 tsp cinnamon(I put more..and added cardamom because I am a very big fan)
2 tbsbs flour
For top.. beaten egg mixed with some water and sugar
Prepare your pies by lacing the bottom crust.. Mix all app;e pie filling ings and bring to a simmer let cook ap 15 mins..let cool..

Fill pies and top..Bake at 350 ap 20 minutes..I did 375 and it took a bit longer,my oven seems to do that.




From the moment I read her post..I just knew!!



that the recipe would win me over..

I have accumulated very many apple pies..my daughter's crumb top being my favorite..Kim's brown bag one being a close second if not equal..and now this one..:)



who says you cannot teach an old dog new tricks? Not my favorite saying by the way:)



Elle est croquante et craquante sa tarte:) Thank you!!!!

Un coup de coeur!






An affair of the heart....


With or without the bird:)

  8. It's hard to pick a favorite, but the beauty of the sugar sparkles and the white birdie put this one at the top of the list...at least for today!

  9. Free Bird comes to mind when I look at these pictures.
    Regardless of the fact I'm living in the 70's, I do find that cute little bird to be the apple pies' crowning glory.

    And speaking of apples, I am the proud owner of an apple tree. An apple tree with only 12 apples on it, mind you. But an apple tree to call my own (says Sol, preening her feathers proudly). If we hadn't gone for a walk in our woods this fall, we would've missed that little treasure.

    In any case, my dear friend, your little bird is singing praises for your pies, and your lovely photography.
