apple pie

i finally had a free afternoon to attempt my first apple pie. when we went to the u-pick farm last weekend i specifically bought extra apples to bake my first pie from scratch. after we got home from church today, we ate lunch and while brandon hung out with Alex (our friend from colorado going to lewis and clark college) i found a recipe and got to work. i do believe it was successful (if i do say so myself)! here is a picture after the first round of helpings.

it was so much fun! i love to bake and really love it when i have people to bake for. i will hopefully get lots of practice on sundays while alex is here--i doubt he'll mind a few homemade desserts:)
