#167 - Learn how to bake a pie - DONE!

I enjoy baking as much as the next person, but for some reason baking a pie has always seemed a very daunting task. But after watching "Pushing Daisies" (a super-fun quirky show that I enjoyed) I decided to put it on the list. Not sure why that show finally convinced me I could do it, but it did. 

When my sister visited my this summer I asked her to pick some things off my list to do together and this was one of her top picks. We searched through some recipes, argued about what type of pie we wanted to make (I voted pumpkin but that was not a proper summer ingredient), and finally settled on apple pie. An american classic! We followed the recipe to the letter, but still ended up with more filling than could fit in the pie... we placed it in the oven and hoped for the best. The 45 minutes could not have gone by any slower, but finally we took it out, let it cool and dug in. It was delicious!!! It even got two thumbs up! From me and my sister at least ;)

This pie was super easy to make, you probably have all the ingredients in your house right now minus the apples. Here's the recipe if you would like to try it yourself, I highly recommend it!
