Homemade Apple Pie made with fresh picked McIntosh or Cortland apples mixed with cinnamon and sugar encased in a flaky pie crust. All you need is a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Apple pie is probably my favorite dessert. There is nothing like the flavor of apples and cinnamon mixed together; then baked until the apples are soft. I like to use McIntosh or Cortland apples in my pies as they really give it a nice flavor.
Homemade Apple Pie #dessert Click To TweetI think I’ve mentioned it before, but I haven’t been able to make a decent pie crust. EVER. I have tried for years, but when Pillsbury came out with their refrigerated pie crusts, I just gave up because they were so good I just didn’t bother anymore. One of these days I’ll try it again. This recipe is so easy to make and is delicious every time. All you need is a giant scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and dessert is served. ~Enjoy!

HI Carrie,
Found your site via the Kitchen Daily Network – excited to check out some new inspiration. I have to agree with Kirsten, that pie plate is adorable and I am guessing the recipe is tasty. Nothing like homemade apple pie to warm up the house and the bellies. Denise – Chez Us

What a cute pie plate! I’m taking the plunge tomorrow and will attempt my first nut crust. Otherwise it’s Pillsbury for me, too!
