The English phrase “apple of my eye” refers to someone that we cherish above all others, our favorite person.

My mom and mother-in-law are the apples of my eye, I love them more than anything on earth.

In order to show our love for moms, I decided to bake an apple pie for Mother’s Day even though we don’t live together now.

All the ingredients are easy to prepare.

:black_small_square: To make lattice-top pie crust

  1. It takes about 20 minutes for the puff pastry to semi-unfreeze. (It will be easier to cut and use the puff pastry and must prevent it unfreezes completely.)

  2. Cut the puff pastry into long and thin slices.

  3. Use the slices to cover the top of filling vertically and horizontally one at a time.

  4. Place the pie into preheated 400 degrees F oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Use the slices to cover the top of filling vertically and horizontally one at a time.

Homemade apple pie is definitely a classic and popular dessert ,especially for fall season or thanksgiving days.

But honestly, who doesn’t love a slice of apple pie at any time of a year?

For all the mothers out there, Happy Mother’s Day! :rose:

Hi @Wei929

Such a perfect post! Thanks for sharing it. Your photos are as always stunning and really showcases the apple pie. That turned out looking really delicious. Do you often make pies? I’ve never tried it, because it looks really challenging.

Apple pie is also my favorite, but my mom grates the apples so when it’s cooked in the oven they are easier to eat. If that makes sense. Nevertheless, it’s a lovely thing to do for Mother’s day and I’m sure you had lots of fun :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @Wei929

My mommy always says (the very famous English proverb), “An apple a Day, keeps doctor away.”

I am the one, who don’t like the apple in it’s native form. Instead of eating raw apple, i prefer having apple jelly or apple cider vinegar. For me this dish seems to came from heaven. I hadn’t tried something this one.

You have inserted beautiful photographs. I totally loved it. I definitely gonna ask my mommy to try out this amazing recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Kudos.

@DanniS Thank you so much for your compliments and I will keep doing my best for my post. :muscle:

I think it’s a great tip to grate the apples and the texture might be creamier in my imagination. Tips from mom never go wrong :+1:

@VinayKrishna Thank you so much for your compliments.

I totally get your point and I love food made from apples but not raw apple! :raised_hands: I believe apple cider vinegar is also good for our health and keeping us from doctors :rofl:

It’s worth to try and share with us how you like it :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
