A Cookie Jar Full

I have recently become familiar with Susan Branch's beautiful books and art. She has some darling books for the seasons filled with many creative ideas for making each one special. She also has a profile on Facebook, a web site and a monthly newsletter you can have emailed to you. (You will find links to Facebook and her newsletter under the cookie jar.) This post was on her Facebook page this week. If you click on the names of the cookies , treats, or beverages, it will take you to the recipe. There's so much there, you won't know which one to try first. I'm hoping Santa is reading this blog so he can put one or two of Susan's books under my tree!

Best-Ever Apple Pie--Really!

You just can't beat a good ol' American apple pie for a great dessert. This recipe was featured in the September 2008 issue of Southern Living. It has five pounds of apples in it!! The picture above is the picture of the pie I made. It was so good! As you read the recipe, you will notice that the crust is a little different--it has cornmeal in it. It also uses apple juice as the wetting agent. The trick is rolling the top crust out large enough to cover that mound of apples. If you love apple pie, try this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
