Recipe for apple pie haha.
ingredients:
5-6 Granny Smith apples (make sure they can stand on their own)
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp. brown sugar
pie crust (homemade or pre-made)

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 375F.

2) Cut off the top of 4 apples off and discard. Remove the inside of each apple with a spoon or melon baller very carefully, as to not puncture the peel.

If you’re a skilled interior apple excavator, salvage as much as you can so you can use it for Step 2. I, on the other hand, am not skilled so I just had to throw my interior apples away and chop up additional apples for filling.

3) Remove skin from remaining apple(s) and slice very thinly. These apple pieces will give you the additional filling needed to fill the four apples you are baking.

Mix sliced apples with sugars and cinnamon in a bowl. If you prefer more or less cinnamon make adjustments as desired. Same goes for the sugar.

Scoop sliced apples into hollow apples.

4) Roll out pie crust and slice into 1/4 inch strips. You can also add a strip of pastry inside the top of the apple almost like a liner to add a little more texture/sweetness to the pie.

Cover the top of the apple in a lattice pattern with pie crust strips.

5) Place apples in an 8×8 pan. Add just enough water to the cover the bottom of the pan.

 
It takes up space but I have no idea of how to make it 

clickable . Apparently no one else does either since this isn't

the first time I have mentioned my handicap LOL.


Today is Marg's birthday .Happy Birthday Dear Sister. 



I hope your day was wonderful and we will take up on 

Saturday .






I had to go to the cardiologist today , he is sending me for 

 MIBI tomorrow . I went for one last year and it hurt like 

H...  However I will prevail and suffer if not in silence then 

suffer anyway. 

I have to go again on  Friday  so my week will be taken up 

with that. 

That and another trip to the pharmacy for more medication  
for my heart. Actually it is no the heart but the arteries. My 
heart is amazingly wonderful, a great pump LOL>

After waiting for the prescription which I forgot to take half 

hour before I ate we came home.

Ray cooked up some eggs early in the day so I shelled 

them , chopped them, added a bit of tabasco sauce, mayo 

and mustard and made devilled eggs for 

sandwiches. Then because it tasted so good we had 

sandwiches for dinner.

With pickles.

And that was the full course of our day, nothing more , no 

less. 

And from the looks of things it will be Sunday before I can 

sew. Who would think that retirement could be so busy 

Haha. 


So tonight it will TV and that is all.


Catherine our great granddaughter in Quebec on her way to school. I think she didn't want to get her  lunch kit wet. Apparently it has been a dreadful summer in Val D'Or and it looks it.  Ray and I sent her a parcel last week with English books in it for Grandma Lynn to read to her. 

Ah another old Singer, hand crank surrounded by a ton of buttons and as a landing for threads.

It is almost fall. just wait for the winds to come.

Just look at this dusty old thing.
In reality it is a rusty old thing but this photo brings up a very old memory for me. When we moved into our home in 1942 there was a stove like this in the kitchen. Mom did not like it and it did not last long in our house.

Cheerful Chairs invite sitting down.

Time to go folks.

Have a great evening
Good night.
