Grammy's Apple Pie

A couple days ago we went to the apple orchard, and I bought a large bag of Melrose apples.  I never heard of Melrose apples before, but I asked the sales lady to recommend a good baking apple, and she gave me a slice of that apple to taste.  Heaven!  It was so yummy!  I was only going to get a small bag, but changed my mind and got a large bag.

The way they do it, they have all kinds of apples in bushel baskets, and you just walk up and ask for whatever you want, they give you a taste, and if you want it they bag it.  When I asked for a large bag, she packed so many apples in there I could barely carry it.  I'm guessing it weighed at least 15 pounds.

Although I had made a Dutch apple pie last week, I couldn't wait to try another apple pie.  My son used a bunch of them to make crockpot apple butter, but I haven't tried that yet.  And of course I can't eat this pie, because of the crust, but all my apple pie eaters declared this pie a winner!  It looks and smells delicious.

I used packaged Pillsbury pie crusts, because I was afraid to mess up the crust with these good apples!  I figure Pillsbury probably has it figured out pretty well by now!  And everyone liked it, so there you go!

I am definitely going to try one of these with a gluten free pie crust, but for now, here is the recipe I used to make this one:

I think you'll like this pie if you make one!  Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you'll be in Apple Heaven!

Apple Cobbler Oatmeal

Fall.  Apples.  Pumpkins.  It's so predictable, but so right!  The first hint of fall weather and all I crave are apples in EVERYTHING and pumpkin spice.  

This morning I got up and was ready to make Apple Cinnamon Waffles, but I just didn't feel like making them today.  What I wanted was a nice big bowl of oatmeal, and apple pie.  Just one of those crazy cravings!

So, I made Apple Cobbler Oatmeal instead.  Just throw everything in a big bowl, mix it up real good, and bake it.  Easy as pie! Even easier!

The kitchen smelled like apple heaven, and breakfast tasted like a warm apple pie oatmeal cookie.  So good!  Just perfect for this morning - and any morning, for that matter!

I ate mine plain.

But my husband poured some warmed milk on his.  He said warm milk on Apple Cobbler Oatmeal makes it breakfast, but tonight vanilla ice cream on it will make it dessert!  Great idea!

However you eat it, I think you'll enjoy a taste of fall with every bite!
