when i have a lot of pie crusts to make, i take out the food processor. i follow a mollie katzen recipe from her still life with menu cookbook for pie dough: 1 1/4 cups flour, half a stick of butter, 4 to 6 tablespoons ice cold water.
the food processor whips the butter and water and flour into balls of dough very quickly.
while i worked on the pie dough, morgana did her vacuuming chore.
then she rolled out the dough and helped peel the apples.
i follow my mom's recipe . . which she got from her mom.
(it's the sturbridge redware pie dish m and c gave me for my birthday the summer before last).
peel and core about ten to twelve green apples . .
lay them in the pie dish . .
sprinkle with cinnamon and cover. i added a few drops of water as the original recipe calls for a squirt of lemon. however, morgana is allergic to lemon these days . . so . . no lemon.
apple pie is really our favorite dessert. we could eat it every morning and evening.
morgana fixed up the nature table on the piano . .
and added some touches to the angel display.
