I love to cook. I wouldn't even say love. I would say I am obsessed. My obsession with cooking began first with my love of food. As a child I grew up with a family of amazing cooks. Any social gathering always involved food. I plan to share my creations as well as some secret family recipes on this blog. I hope you will enjoy this and begin to become your own food artist if you have not already.

Cinnamon Crumb Apple Pie
There are so many versions of apple pie out there. I would have to say I like almost all of them. Here is one that is always a hit. I have to admit, I use store bought pie crust. I have made my own, but find it easier and less messy to buy store bought!
Ingredients for filling:
ready made pie crust (2)
5 granny smith apples, peeled and diced
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
8 ounce chunky applesauce
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. of butter
Crumb Topping
3 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp of sugar
1 tsp. of cinnamon
1 Tbsp room temp butter
Preheat over to 425. Please 1 pie crust into a pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes. This will keep your bottom from being soft. (you may need to poke whole in the crust after 4 minutes) Remove from oven. Reduce heat to 350. In a large bowl mix together your dry ingredients for filling. Next mix in the applesauce & apples. Pour in to pie pan. Drizzle with lemon juice and dot the top with butter. Place second pie crust over top of filling. Crimp together with a fork. Also poke several holes on top crust with fork to release steam during baking. Mix the crumb topping together and sprinkle over crust. Bake an additional 45 minutes.
