we each peeled 27 apples, which Mom got from a friend's tree
just stirred with cinnamon & sugar
ready for the oven 
50 minutes later & the whole house smelled great
sent home with a People mag and an extra pie for freezing -hot damn!
Boy am I fortunate. Last weekend I learned how to bake banana bread and this weekend my Mom taught me how to bake apple pies. Someday, when I learn how to make a good gumbo, I'll be a rock star.
Mom had never before baked pies with anyone else at the same time, and we both had a lot of fun.
I thought that making crust was going to be so hard, but it wasn't! Peeling the apples was fun, too. While our first ones were baking, we each made a second one. That one goes in the freezer and when company comes, all we have to do is put it in the oven.
I stopped off at the store for some vanilla ice cream and Jay just loved it. He sure is lucky!
