I'm going to make this pie this week!
I am known for my delicious apple pies in my family, so that's what I am going to be making for Thanksgiving this year! I've been trying to reduce the amount of sugar in my desserts for a while, and I decided to try it out with my apple pie a few weeks ago. I substituted sugar for Splenda, and it's was still really tasty. I couldn't tell the difference, and neither could my mom or sister. I first learned how to make apple pie in my high school foods class, and I've been tweaking it ever since. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

The local bakery will be giving away a free pie to every 10th paying customer.
Monday, Jan. 23 is National Pie Day and Upper St. Clair's The Pie Place is celebrating on Saturday by holding its second annual "Random Acts of Pie-ness."

Gombar also encourages children and adults to take part in the two classes scheduled to teach lattice-top pie-making. "It's a work of art and a …

This recipe comes from my great grandmother.
If you make this Thanksgiving recipe today or tomorrow, you're going to want to make sure you save room for dessert! This apple pie is always a hit. The recipe comes from my great grandma Quella. However, she didn't use the pre-made pie crusts (sorry!). She was a diabetic, so each Thankgiving she would use some extra pie crust and make herself a separate apple turnover omitting the sugar. I like this recipe because the apples don't get too mushy and you can really taste the cinnamon in it. Serve the pie with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or plain—hot or cold! I've tested it—it tastes delicious every way! Apple Pie Box of Pillsbury pie crusts (comes with two), at room temperature 6-7 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced 3/4 cup …
