A is for Apple

Like going back to school, it’s one of our favorite fall rituals, making an apple pie (or two…). Imagine juicy wedges, layered atop each other, cradled in a delicate crust browned to golden perfection. The only thing that improves the moment is a scoop of our best vanilla ice cream.

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we celebrate the apple with both sweet and savory pies. You’ll find a Blue Ribbon Apple Pie that lives up to its name, a savory Pork and Apple Pie, and a fabulous Rustic Tart. We have some fun with trivia and plenty of top apple tips.
