Happy Black Friday!

Let the craziness and shopping begin!!!

*

Haha, yeah so everyone's driving like a maniac and buying things left and right. I'm getting ready for my last leg of this semester by packing my tree and goodies to make during the cold nights. Our trees are up at home (the real tree will be home when I come home) and decorated all nice! We've got a warm fire in the fireplace and movies on the tv. This is the life!!

Hope you all have a lovely start of the winter season with whatever you enjoy and celebrate. I'd love to hear about them! (Feel free to comment!!!)

For the start of the Christmas season, or just the holiday season, here's another delicious recipe:

Sam's Deep-Dish Apple Pie

*

Make: 10-15 mins Bake: 40-45 mins

You will need: 

CRUST! - To make this a quick little recipe, just use a prepared pie crust (or even your own). I recommend Pillsbury, or the one in the last recipe I posted. 

Filling:

6 apples (best combo - 4 Gala and 2 Pink Lady) Try mixing very sweet with slightly tart; sliced and diced any way you want, good with and without skin

2 tablespoons of flour

3/4 cup of sugar

3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon of lemon juice (highly recommended fresh squeezed lemon, about 1/3 of the lemon will do it)

1/4 of a stick of butter

*

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Slice apples. Small, medium, large chunks all good. I use medium. Peeling is optional.

3. Add to big bowl. Begin adding other ingredients in order listed above.

4. With a large spoon, mix will. Fold ingredients until well-mixed.

5. Lay down first pie crust in your pan. make sure this one is well stretched, but no tears or holes. 

6. Pour in bowl of ingredients.

7. Take other pie crust for top and place, making sure you cover the whole thing.

8. With your fingers, pinch the edges together. Might be hard since there's a lot of filling!!!

9. Slit top lightly. Maybe make a design, like a tree or a star or your name. 

10. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and sugar to taste.

11. Bake for 40-45 mins. 

Let it cool for a while, there's a lot to cool!!!

Add some ice cream or cool whip on top and serve!!! Yum yum...

Enjoy yourselves!
