Somebody's Been Watching Food Network Again!

Well, we still don't have TV reception here at our house, but when we travel or visit other folks, my favorite show to watch is, "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives". Recently I got to thinking that maybe the episodes were on disc, and sure enough....they are! So I ordered Seasons 1, 2 and 3.  Hey, everyone benefits...and it's tax deductible too! I put one of the pie recipes to use today.....


I was taking lunch to my good friend Yvonne's house. She is a very busy gal, with 4 girls in 4 different schools, so I figured that the only way I was going to see her is if I brought a meal to her. It was sort of a Farm to Table kind of lunch, with Winter Kale salad.....



And Grilled Black Cod Tips with pan fried Fingerling Potatoes.


And dessert was Apple Pie. I used the Apple Pie filling that I canned last year, but removed most of the liquid first and set it aside.


Then I rolled out the pie crust extra large and put it in the pan and piled in as much Apple Pie Filling as I could, and stuck a cube of butter in the top.


The last step was to pull all the extra crust up to the top and press it tightly and firmly into place around the butter cube.


And pop it in the oven.


It fell a little bit, but it was still huge and beautiful (in a rustic sort of way).  Evonne loved it!



We heated up the extra liquid that had been removed earlier, and served over the top of the pie and icecream.


And fun was had by all!

    That pie looks incredible!! David loves pie but I don't love making it...maybe if I canned apple pie filling I would make more pies?
