My mother brought a bunch of apples a few weeks ago. Olivia was able to make 2 apple pies (we took to church), 2 apple crisp (one for us, one for a neighbor), and then canned 4 quarts, leaving us a few to eat fresh! :o)
She used a cookie cutter and got creative with the crust.
Pie Crust

2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. water
2 T sugar
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt

Using pastry cutter, cut chunks of butter to flour, sugar and salt, until course crumbs. Add water slowly. Roll out until it is thin.

2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons brown sugar

The pies are lovely! I'm sure they taste as great as they look!
I made an apple crisp tonight. The smell of baking apples is one of the "homiest" smells, don't you agree?
May you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving!
