The first time I made apple pie was in college after I purchased a Keebler graham ready crust and the ‘Always time for Pie’ recipe book. I love the crumbly topping and the smell of cinnamon as the pie bakes in the oven. It is both sweet and tart, perfect recipe for my taste. It has since become a yearly menu item on our Thanksgiving dinner.
