as american as apple pie...


I've been in a pie mood since Thanksgiving. A pumpkin pie is baking as I write this. I actually got the apple pie recipe from a running buddy. The fun part is that the apples are mixed with sugar and cinnamon and then soaked in Amaretto. Rather than using an upper crust, the pie is covered in a thick streusel. For the picture of the pie slice, I kept the big glob of whipped cream off. I didn't want to make anyone hungry.
By the way...the crust is made fresh and not from a box. In case you were wondering...
