National Pie Day normally falls on January 23
but a second Day was added this year
December 1st
I started off with a traditional Apple Pie
- Thank you, whoever invented the 'dough hook' for an electric mixer
- Thank you, Martha Stewart for telling me to roll the dough inside a plastic bag
- Thank you most of all, RG (retired gardener) for peeling and slicing the apples
Next I made what I call 'Lazy Lady Pie'.
- Instead of rolling the pie in a circle and attempting to make it to the pie pan in one piece, roll it or press it into a square or oblong cake pan. (a 9x13 makes a nice size for church socials, office parties and such because its nice to cut into various size squares depending on the crowd)
- Toss in the sweetened and spiced apples
- Lay cut-out pieces of remaining pie dough overlapped on the top with a few openings
- Sprinkle with sugar (I use cinnamon sugar for apple)
- Thank you to my friend Peg for #1
- I came up with #3 on my own a few years ago
