Apple pie? Not quite. But it’s a bit different than a crisp or a cobbler and goes together in nothing flat. I’ve got 2 apple trees producing right now so I play with anything and everything apple. Apple butter is next on my list. I think I’ve got some golden and red delicious apples right now, but the trees are older than I’ve owned the house so I’m not positive. If you’re making this with tart apples, add 1/2 cup or so of sugar. I didn’t add any at all and it was delicious. In my house, something like this is breakfast material as well as dessert–a family tradition my dad introduced to the girls at a young age.
