Pie...

..... today's adventure - in lieu of raking the fallen leaves in the back yard - is to bake an apple pie..... and really?... so far, so good..... the crust has been finished and the filling is cooling.... I am a bit worried about the "upper" crust though as it is simply a mixture of flour, sugar, and butter that is meant to be spread thinly across the top before baking.....

..... I'm no Martha Stewart, but I reckon that if I don't wait until the filling is properly cooled I may end up melting the buttery portion of the mixture....... and that, rubberneckers, would be a bad thing.....

.... anyhoo, desserts really aren't my bag, but I felt like giving it a try.... besides, the apples were about to go off anyway..... what better way to finally coax The Missus and I into actually eating a fresh slice of fruit than by making a pie, eh?..... apple pie is healthy, right?.....
