Apple Pies

 Last week my Mum got a few cases of Mac's for some baking and invited me out to make pies with her. My Mum's pie crust is to die for, and I still can't duplicate it very well. We spent a few mornings putting together pies for the freezer.
 
 The first day we made a grand total of sixteen pies. We cooked up four of them, and ate three of those that day. 

 Pie for lunch anybody?

 Today we made eight and I was lucky enough to bring those home to my freezer. We hardly put a dent in the apple boxes, but it was a good start! I probably peeled over one hundred apples, and I have the stained fingers to prove it! I loved being able to work with my mamma in the kitchen and learn the art of her pie crust! 

The littles loved being at Gramma and Grampa's and played so nicely together while we rolled dough and peeled apples. It was so nice to visit with everyone and to be able to help my sister with some wedding stuff while we were there! And the miracle of miracles, my kids all slept until 8:00 this morning! I love when the Acreage works it's magic. All that fresh air and running around seemed to tucker everyone out nicely. Thanks again Gramma and Grampa!
