Foodie Friday: Apples To Apples. Recipes & Cook's Tools

It's apple season, my friends, which makes "Mr. Shop This" very happy. Just last night, he asked for Apple Pie.  Really, could there be anything more Fall-like than a bushel of apples and the smell of cinnamon? Apples are one of the season's best gifts. Let's put them to good use. Get cook'n!

Classic Apple Pie
Well, that's what it is called, but I would call it a show stopper pie! Those leaves of the top crust are cut by hand. If you have the patience, this is one impressive pie. I searched and searched for the best "looking" apple pie recipe I could find. This is it folks.
