so today, i had a hankering for fresh apple pie. fortunately, there are always appetites at the table at Hedgemeer, so we made four pies. Apple pie recipes run amuck everywhere, so pick and choose, we went w/ the one in the Joy of Cooking and simply bought the shells in the frozen section. and i think that the real touch was buying whipping cream that you whip up yourself. really, cool whip doesn't cut the cake at all.add some powdered sugar and a dash of vanilla and you're all set. next week, a jumbleberry grump, perhaps. ;)
