A few apples were beginning to fall from my tree this last week, so it was time. I like to pick them for pie a little before they are fully ripe, which is right now.
I assisted my 7 or 8 year old daughter in baking her first pie. It was an apple with the lattice top very muck like yours. It is a great memory. She is 21 now and still remembers that day. Thank you.
