Apple Pie: A Precursor to Autumn



With the crisp and cold weather coming on, I have had the usual autumn craving of homemade apple pie. Having never made an apple pie before, my sister and I found a wonderful Apple Galette recipe which we adapted to a pie format. Here is the link to Laura Calder's Apple Galette recipe on the food network website:

We simply doubled the pastry in this recipe so we could use half for the bottom crust and the other half for the top crust which we did in a lattice format. Other than that we used the same amount of apple's, although perhaps I will increase these the next time. Serving the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is the perfect autumn treat.
