Apple Pie

So, I have this super talented friend named Shelly.
She sews and crafts and refashions clothes.
Oh, she also MAKES PIE!!!

She recently did a pie crust demonstration, which unfortunately I was not able to go. I was bummed.
However, she was kind enough to take the time to personally teach me how to make her famous pie crust!! At her house!

I don't know if you realize how big of a deal this is.

She made pie for weeks practicing for her demonstration. She probably never wanted to make pie again! And yet... she did.
Thank you Shelly.
I have never felt so accomplished in my life! She was even patient with my baking insecurities.

In my futile pie making past, I have attempted two pies. Yes, only two. And they both flopped miserably.
You can imagine my excitement when I tasted my first successful pie! I was giddy!
I have a bag full of apples just waiting for my second attempt... by myself.
Wish me luck!

Was one of your failed attempts the time we tried to make it together (in the kitchen with the yellow counter) and it tasted like a pound of salt instead of delicious pie crust?

yummo! I made an apple crumble with my madre yesterday (purposefully without a crust because we didn't want to go there...)

you are so talented and the pie was terrific! I also LOVED your festive decorations for Halloween. Oh I hope your craftiness rubs off on me in the next 3 years!
