Thankful Living ~ Autumnal Blessing #1

~ Happy October~

 

This weekend, we Celebrate Thanksgiving here in Canada.

My cookbooks now have little yellow post it notes poking out from the pages

so I can find my "tried and true " traditional recipes when I need them.

Even though we may try one or two new recipes, there are those ones that are a must make ...

like Apple Pie :-)  This year we will also be enjoying a "raw" apple pie thanks to my vegan daughter which I know will be delicious.

 

Thursdays here on the blog are Thankful {things I love} Thursdays, but in honour of the month of October, I thought I'd do something different & celebrate  Autumnal Blessings with  a month of THANKFUL LIVING posts ♥

Home comfort cooking ♥ creating ♥ decorating♥ and of course ... quotes!

 

Since we are a family of apple lovers, a visit to the pick your own Apple Orchard is a Fall family tradition ~ so Autumnal Blessing #1 is Thankful for a beautiful Autumn crop.

APPLE PIE

 

6 cups  (6-8) tart apples, cored, pared and thinly sliced

1/2 cup sugar (more or less depending on your taste)

2 TBSP all purpose flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

dash of nutmeg

Pastry for 2-crust pie

2 TBSP butter

 

If apples lack tartness, sprinkle with 1 TBSP lemon juice.

Combine sugar, flour and spices and mix with apples.

Line a 9" pie plate with pastry.  Fill with apple mixture and dot with butter.

Add top crust, seal edges &  cut slits for steam to escape.

Bake at 400 degrees for 50 min.
