Let me start off this blog post by saying that this apple pie recipe is very near and dear to my heart. It was actually the recipe that first inspired me to start a cookbook back when I was 19 years old. I was in between my freshman and sophomore year of college, and made an apple pie on a warm summer afternoon. I decided to photograph my beautiful pie after it came out of the oven, and realized that it looked just as good as some of the pictures I would see in cooking magazines. Before I knew it, I was furiously baking and cooking as many recipes as I could to photograph them before I went back to a cramped dorm room sans oven or stove at Miami University. I used an online publishing software to design the layouts for my cookbook, and finally finished it in Fall 2012...all because of this simple pie recipe!
