A Bunch of Apples or The Apple Bunch?

THE PIE IS FINALLY FINISHED! I attempted to let it cool, but that didn't go so well. (As a means of passing time, I even re-wrote the lyrics to the Brady Bunch theme song. That only took about five minutes though.) Since then, I've eaten a slice... or two, and I can honestly say that the pie is delicious! It's a wonder why I have never baked a pie before. I've always loved to bake. Matter of fact, I learned to bake long before I learned how to cook, and yet somehow I've never baked a pie... until today!

In a way, successfully making this apple pie makes me think on the days to come when I will be able to cook large family meals. Oven baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, string beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, hot-water cornbread, and mama's apple pie! Yes, siree! I can picture that... I can almost taste it... 

So, what's your favorite type of pie? 

Here's the recipe that I used - Mama's Apple Pie. I followed the it fairly closely, except for a few minor changes, i.e., the use of brown sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and nutmeg. 


The Brady Bunch An Apple Pie
Here's a story of a bag of apples,
that this lady did not like that much at all.
The skin of them was gross,
quite like plastic.
They weren't good apples at all.

Here's a story of a girl named Lisa,
who was wondering what she'd do with those apples.
There were six left, 
in the 'frigerator,
And they sat all alone.

Till the one day when this lady had an idea! 
And she could not just let it sit and die!
So she went right,
to the grocery store,
And bought things for a pie!

An apple pie! 
An apple pie!
That's the way she agreed to make a pie!
