I appreciate you helping spread the word and there
really is something for just about everyone with the
best prices go see it changes every day! The only thing
better than a good old fashioned deal is good old
fashioned APPLE CRUMB PIE. And this is really the time
of year to get out your baking shoes (we women love
shoes everyone should have a pair just for comfy cookin').
I actually like to think of this one as a cheater's pie
because it uses a prepackaged pie crust. Hey, this one
goes out to all you beginners and busy people out there
who love apple pie!

Enjoy!

MORE APPLES HELP

Traditional slicing methods call for quartering and coring
apples. Another way is to shave off slices from the outside
with a paring knife, turning the apple in quarter turns.
Continue slicing until you reach the core, and then discard
the core. If you need to peel the apple, always do so before
cutting up the apple.

If you need to core an apple, a melon baller is the best tool
to use. Cut the apples in half, and then use the large side
of melon baller; it will remove the core and seeds and leave
an even, circular hole.

Prick the skin of apples a few times with the tip of a paring
knife before baking to keep them from bursting. To keep baked
apples from shrinking, remove a horizontal slice of peel from
around the middle.

If using apples in fruit salad, combine them with citrus
fruits such as oranges. Squeeze some of the orange juice over
the diced apples and then toss them with the orange sections.
The juice will keep the apples from darkening.

Pssst...did you know that apples keep longer if you make sure
they don't touch one another?
