Well, I finally got around to taking a photo and actually posting it! Apple Pie! I have to admit I ate most of it myself...but I think such allowances are necessary when pregnant. Eating seems to have become a full time job now, as I am always hungry! That's a wonderful change of pace from the spring, when I couldn't even look at food! Ah, hormones.
The pie uses Red Delicious apples with the skin left on for fiber and colour. The result is that the filling has a pretty rose hue. I used cornstarch as a thickener because I eventually had to freeze some leftovers. If you use flour as a thickener and then freeze the pie, the results will be watery when defrosted. Cornstarch on the other hand, does not lose its thickening power after being frozen. Just something to keep in mind. I did cheat a little, as the crust is store bought. ^_^; I am really craving Banana Cream Pie now, so we shall see how long it takes me to make it.
