I remember the ice cream bookmark. As long as I can remember baking with my mom – it was that ice cream book mark right where the apple pie recipe was in her 1970’s Orange Betty Crocker’s Cookbook. Wouldn’t you know when my grandma gave me her cookbook – my mom gave me one of her bookmarks? There were others too! I had no idea! All I ever saw was the ice cream… wishful thinking perhaps.
a few weeks ago I showed you the pumpkin pies. What’s pumpkin pie without apple pie? Oh… I guess it’s just pumpkin pie. But apple pie… oh… that’s just sweet goodness. These little pies are made with Granny Smith Apples. They hold their shape – but lend themselves awesome to the sweetness you add. The Lattice top was really easy, I promise. 4 strips, weave them together, plop them on top. No fuss.
In 1970, the book says, apple pie is on the Big Ten list of American Favorites. Um… sure… ok… whatever. Hello Randomness.
