It's the End of the World as We Know it....So I Made Pie

It is apparently quite possible that in a few hours, you or I will  be raptured (please see item #3)

Should that happen I just want you to know one thing: first, I will be eating apple pie.

I've been reading John T Edge's Apple Pie which is a swoony read of epic proportions. This is the review of that book, though should I not be raptured, after I have kept a date with my Facebook friends to loot and then crochet, I will indeed be doing just that. Then I plan on reading the other books in the series. Side note: the other books in the series are Fried Chicken, Donuts, and Hamburgers & Fries. So, I'd really rather not be raptured.

This is a photo of my favorite place to get apples at the farmer's market. These apples are delicious. And if I take the less pretty ones, they are 50 cents a pound. PIE!

I used John Besh's pie dough (it's good stuff) and tossed a bunch of apples in a bowl with brown sugar, lemon, a tablespoon of butter and some cornstarch.

I know it's awful not to measure right? Wrong. But since my sisters both claim I am from Outer Space and I am pretty sure Space Aliens are not included in the festivities, I promise to make it up to you next time.

So as I wait to hear which of my loved ones I will never seen again and the zombie horde, I rest comfortably in the knowledge that no matter what else happens, I will always have pie. Or at least a really good memory.

Baked Apple Fritters

Breakfast should be simple and tasty. So I adapted a recipe from Food Down Under for a quick, tasty breakfast that includes fruit!

1 egg
2/3 c ww Pastry Flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 c half and half
1 large apple, peeled and cored. I grated half and then chopped half for texture.

preheat the oven to 400 C. Beat the egg, then add dry & wet ingredients. Grate in half the apple, then chop the rest and toss it in. Fold together until just mixed.

I baked it 10 minutes in a small buttered cake pan. Fast, easy and delicious!
