Up to my eyes in cooking apples. A bountiful harvest from a friend’s orchard garden. Coring and peeling, (time stealing) Cut into large chunks, simmer gently, lightly sweetened.
Mmmm, what an odour It makes the mouth water!
Up to my elbows in apple pie pastry, careful to use a very light touch must keep it nice and flaky. How many will I make, a couple of dozen? Only one for Eric cos he’s diabetic, two for Margaret and Reg, (she gave me some veg.) and maybe Heidi and Matt, they would like one or two. A dozen for the Coffee Morning to fund our local Air Ambulance. Got to find room in the freezer too, to keep Jim supplied, while I’m away! Oh dear, have I kept one for me? Roll out the pastry and fit to the dish, Fill with apple and top with a lid. Crimp the edges, sugar the tops, then bake in the oven until a rich golden brown.
Mmmm, what an odour It makes the mouth water!
Serve with Devonshire cream or one scoop (or three!) of real Cornish ice-cream. Mmmm. the odour has taste and its very more-ish. So what - if it goes to my waist! Forget about diets and pass me that dish!
Jackie you are truly making me hungry with this description - it almost sounds as yummy as the toffee pudding......no - wait a minute - now I can't make up my mind which sounds better! Guess I'll have to make them both......
