The Perfect Apple Pie Filling Meets The Perfect Pie Crust

Ever since my mom gave me my Grandma’s Perfect Pie Crust Recipe I’ve been craving apple pie. Luckily last October I bought a couple of bushels of apples that I froze up for occasions just like this. I have this great apple pie filling recipe that I use all of the time, I found it a couple of years ago, called the Perfect Apple Pie Filling. I thought that I would try marrying my grandma’s Perfect Pie Crust with my recipe for the Perfect Apple Pie Filling.

The combination is a winner, I think it could even win a blue ribbon at next years Apple Festival.
