Pie Love: Tucked in a crust, nothing says love from the oven like pie. Whether it’s a twist on the all-American apple pie or a traditional recipe from your home country, give a healthy makeover to your favorite savory or sweet pie recipe. I knew right away when I read this months theme I wanted to make Mom’s apple pie. She makes it every year over the holiday’s and it is unlike any apple pie out there. Seriously, it really is! Every time I make it I tell her we have way too many sliced apples, but we always manage to get all of those apples packed in there. This recipe is fun because the pie recipe was inspired by an apple cookie bar recipe and she has recreated it by coming up with her own crust recipe. The fun part about the crust is the graham cracker crumble that goes on the crust before you layer the apples! As I was making the pie today I was thinking how yummy it would be to use crumbled cinnamon graham crackers next time..mmmm.
I know the theme is to put a healthy twist on a pie…but this apple pie was too good not to share and I didn’t want to mess it up by changing anything! This can be a perfect dessert for your fourth of July gatherings…and it is so fun to get mom, grandma, sisters, or any other loved ones in the kitchen and make a pie from scratch. Enjoy! 🙂 [inlinkz_linkup id=529265 mode=1]
