Just a simple post this week. I am off to a marketing conference for the rest of the week and didn’t have a chance to prepare anything deeper.
Here is a picture of some pies I baked over the weekend. Or rather, I baked them while my Mom supervised. Ever since we had the stove on fire incident a few years ago, I don’t think she trusts me in the kitchen!
It was a wonderful way to spend a rainy afternoon. I love the fall and I love apples. Plain apples are fine, but they taste even better when they are in a pie. I had just bought a little baby boo pumpkin gourd too, so I had to add that to the picture. Actually the baby boo is for one of our chipmunks.
I gave one of the pies to my cousin and I brought the other one home. Mr. Ken’s eyes lit up when he saw the pie and he immediately took it out of my hands. I like to think that he was so excited to be eating something that I had baked, but it was more that he loves sweets, any sweets.
Later that night I went to cut a small piece for myself, but half the pie was already gone! Mr. Ken claimed no knowledge of what happened to all the pie.
What about you? What is your favorite fall food?

hi Nancy, I checked your previous blog posts and the pies looked prettier π these sound good, is it the uglier the tastier with apple pies or some new ingredient – like more butter or something? I adore American apple pie but have never tried to bake one. Should I?

Hi Bea,
Yes, you should! If I can bake a pie, than anyone can. I used a recipe from
the Fannie Farmer Cookbook. You could also find plenty of recipes online.

Dear Mr. Ken,
I thought you liked the pie. My first hint was when you consumed half of it on the first day I brought it home. π

Ken said he square dances better on a full stomach of apple pie anyway!

Hi Tony,
According to Mr. Ken, he does everything better with a full stomach of apple pie! That includes sitting and watching tv. π

Autumn here in Switzerland brings out the pumpkins, and so anything with pumpkin is a favourite. Also, when the colder weather sets in it’s time to get out the fondue pot or the Raclette machine. Apple pie is also a favourite, but then it doesn’t need to be autumn for that one to come out of the oven! π

Hi Trinity,
Thanks for sharing what Autumn is like in Switzerland. It looks like apple pie is universal!

Here it is called ApfelwΓ€he; you might not recognize it as pie! It has a thick custard (egg mixture) poured over the single crust layered with apple slices and baked. Another popular WΓ€he is with apricots.

Hi C.E.,
Yes, that is all too true, with Mom looking over my shoulder, nothing could go wrong. π
The conference was a lot of fun too!
