On the First Day of Christmas
I have this obsession at the moment. A minor obsession but the thought has been dominating my mind lately.
Why? I've never made a pie before, not from scratch not even from pre-made pie crust and canned pie filling. Nope, never touched base with a pie and I feel like a warm spicy apple pie will be perfect for the first day of Christmas, which is this Saturday. 3 days away. Today I bought a glass pie pan, measuring cups and measuring spoons, flour, butter, apple pie spice, and a pizza/dough cutter. I believe all I need now is the apples which I will buy Friday, a rolling pin and a basting brush :)
I want to decorate my pie with hearts, I might settle for something more seasonal like oak / maple leafs.
But for this specific pie I'm baking it with Robert in mind so I'd like to incorporate love in some way.

And I only hope I'm able to make a dough-braid like the one below for the rim of my pie.

My Pinterest board "My Sweet Tooth & I" Is filling up with all kinds of baking ideas. Robert will never be able to love another after I master my baking skills. Not that he can lover another now :-P, just sayin' he's a sucker for pastrys.
