Inspired by Homer's posts on pie making, my partner is trying to get me to make an apple pie. I grew up on an apple farm in Upstate New York, so I know from apple pie. Every summer through fall is was applesauce, apple pie, apple salad, baked apples, apple sandwiches. My mom actually makes the best applesauce and pie, but it's been over 20 years since I've made one. Actually, I'm more worried about the crust than the apples. Our countertop isn't very large, so that makes the rolling of the crust quite difficult.
She used to make this amazing Norwegian Apple Pie, but nobody else in the family liked it, so she stopped making it.

I remember one fall in MA, my ex wife and I went apple picking and pick a few too many (OK, a lot too many) apples. One realizes that you can only eat so many apples. Not wanting them to spoil we went on an apple cooking marathon. It was like Iron Chef with apples as the secret ingredient. We made a few varieties of apple pie, though we cheated and bought the frozen crusts. My favorite treat though was the apple pancakes... mmmmm. Good luck with your pies.
