It’s been a great weekend so far. It started with breakfast at a café with the puppy, apple picking, soon I’ll be visiting family, and I’ve started a new book ( I do love Stephen King).
Our beautiful step daughter, gifted Jay this fun kitchen gadget.
It’s a mini pie maker! As we have a monster sized bag of apples, we decided to make an apple pie. I used a premade vegetarian pie crust, waited until it was at room temperature, and then rolled it, and cut out the pie crust shapes.
The filling was made with grated apple, cinnamon and sugar, with a little cornstarch to thicken it up.
The recipe was designed to be fast and easy. The pie was then topped with the remaining crust cut out, then baked.
It was baked for only 5 minutes. It was the fasted pie I’ve ever made.
It was good too. It reminded me of the pies you get at Mcdonald’s and Harveys. I will probably make a different apple pie filling recipe for it, when I make it again. I’m really excited to try other fruit flavours. It was fast, easy, fun, and yummy. I will definitely be using this little gadget again.

Let me know what you think of If It Bleeds. I haven’t read that one, but Stephen King books are hit or miss for me. I enjoyed a lot of his stuff when I was a teen. These days I find I love some of his books, but others I find incredibly difficult to get through.
The pie maker looks fun! I recently made us a couple of mini apple crumbles using chocolate granola for the topping. They turned out okay. Your pies look great.

I loved his older works the most, but far. So far I’m enjoying this book. The pie was good and so fast to make (that could be dangerous lol). Chocolate granola with apples would have been in interesting combo. I haven’t had that before

I like the mini pie maker. It would be good for those of us who do not have any children at home to make the size we need.
