It is good...who doesn't like a good warm slice of apple pie with a scoop of cold creamy vanilla ice cream? Is your mouth watering yet? Well, I have been wanting to make an apple pie for a while now. I've made pies before, but they've been pumpkin or some out-of-the-box variety. So, last week my good friend, Melissa, gave me her recipe.

Jenny, that looks yummy!
I made one last week, my first ever. And maybe my last! I think I used the wrong type of apples (I just used what I had on-hand) and only one crust. It was awful!
I think I'm gonna take a shot at a Buttermilk Pie this weekend...
