Apple Crumble Pie

October 26, 2012 by Ariel 4 Comments

I wish I had the time to go pick up apples myself in the trees but I don’t… instead, I’m doing like a ton of city people and I bought them at the grocery store.  Next year, I will make the time to go outside the city and go pick them up myself to them prepare a ton of tasty goodies for this blog but this year I have to make sacrifices to work on my online business full time with barely any time to play.  Boohoo so sad 🙁

I was stressed out yesterday before making this.  Not for any particular reason but I guess I was just working too much and because of my overdose of productivity I started getting all annoyed and stressed out so I decided to step away from my computer for an hour to be creative in my kitchen.  Removing the skin of the fresh apples, touching the flour and smelling the aroma of cardamon and cinnamon was exactly what I needed because right after making this apple crumble pie, I felt amazing and accomplished.  Then the day went by, I had to go to my yoga class and the second I came back, the only idea I had in mind was to try my crumble.  It was orgasmic!  I sincerely hope you get around to try out this recipe because it’s worth it 🙂  I used Spartan apples because they were the only fresh one at my grocery store but feel free to use the one you prefer.  I honestly prefer a more sour tasting apple so that was perfect for me.  I’m even thinking on trying out this recipe with green apples this winter.  If you do it before me, let me know how that turned out!

My First Mini Cherry Pie with Crumble top…

July 2, 2012 by Ariel 5 Comments

These are looking pretty decent, maybe not as good as I had in my mind but I’m still very happy with the result knowing that it was my first time making a cherry pie and overall a fruit pie.  It wont be my last either, I have planned on making different versions of the cherry pie and hopefully I’ll get better at it every time.

I got to say that I had fun tweaking a bunch recipes that I found online to finally come up with this one…  Hope you enjoy the touch of maple syrup in the filling and dried mint in the crust,  I think they are adding a new dimension of flavor to the typical cherry pie you can find out there..  So try it out and let me know 😉
