Recipe: Mimi’s Apple Pie

Good Old-fashion Apple Pie! Nothing smells more wonderful while this baby bakes in the oven. Want to see them smile, make this pie. Want your grown kids or grand-kids to come over more often. Make this pie. No, seriously. Make this pie!

Mimi’s Apple Pie

6 cups sliced, tart apples (I use granny smith apples and one sweet apple. The sweet apple makes a lot of juice.)
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. butter

Place sliced apples in an unbaked pie shell. Mix dry ingredients and sprinkle over the apples. Dot with butter and cover with a top crust. Seal edges and cut slits in the top of crust. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes.

Pure Yumminess! Y’all enjoy.

Aunt Del’s Blueberry Pie

Have you buzzed through the produce section at Wal-Mart (or your local grocery store) lately and taken a look at the blueberries this year?  They look pretty plump and tasty.  Probably all the spring rains.  Well – grab a couple of packages and make this pie soon.  Sure would be a pretty ‘blue’ dish for a 4th of July celebration or maybe for Father’s Day next weekend.   This recipe shared by my Aunt Del from Zachary, Louisiana. Thanks Aunt Del!

Aunt Del’s Blueberry Pie

Easy Pie Crust (makes 2 crusts)
