please pass the pie...

 My west coast brother and sister-in-law arrived late last night for their much anticipated visit, safe and sound. Hooray!  Since I knew it would be only about 8:00pm their time when we got back to my place, I had baked a pie for an evening snack.  As you may know from previous blogs, I am a big believer in bedtime snacks.  We had the pie with ice cream and it was delicious.  You have probably noted that I said I baked a pie.  I did not say I made a pie.  The credit for this particular pie (a crumb crusted Dutch apple version) goes to the women and men of St. John's Lutheran Church.  While we at First Pres bake copious amounts of cookies for the Johnny Appleseed Festival each year (14,000 at last count) they bake delicious apple pies.  One of the great things about these pies is that you can buy them frozen and they last, if not forever, at least for months.  I usually buy four, which is all my little freezer can hold.  This was the last of my stash, but luckily the JAF is only two months away.
