Apple Pie to go

Pie making is always difficult..time consuming...hard physical labor...But when people finally appreciate the result, then it all comes together and it all is worth. BUT...if the people who you are tiring away in the kitchen do not appreciate it, even the yummy pie losses it taste.

With that note...if you are ready for some hard work and enjoy the fruits of labor, come join me in making the yummy pie, which is ready to go where you are going :)

The first pie I ever made was an apple pie...this was long before I started blogging and I made two pies, because one of my best friend/co workers was diabetic and I wanted to make a sugar free pie for her and then I made another pie with regular sugar. She was so happy because she hadn't eaten a pie in ages, because she couldn't handle the sugars. It was sooooo worth it for me.

Today I made the pies to go...because ...I wanted to walk around the house eating a pie LOL
