Recipe Note: This was one of our favorite pies we used to take�on family picnics because it keeps well in the summer. I remember sometimes our cousins, aunts, uncles, and immediate family used to�go on family picnics to Towamensing Park (I think that was the name of it).�There were several activities we would amuse ourselves with while waiting for dinner like go fishing over the bridge, softball, frisbee, etc. When finished, we would come back to the smell of burgers and dogs on the grill. While dinner was cooking, some of us cousins�would sneak into the box with the desserts and�strategically take and eat some of the caramelized apple slices from the top of the pie. Mmm. It brings back�fun memories. And I think our parents always knew that we had touched dessert and sometimes they never said a word to us that they knew. Looking back, love can be letting go and not saying anything to correct another and watching how a life unfolds with childish pleasures.
