I have discovered that I am not a domestic goddess, and I am ok with that. I sew well, but my house is kinda messy and my baking these days has been kinda 50/50, and that's ok.
We decided to make an apple pie as a family since we had all of these wonderful fresh picked apples. I normally don't make pie, my sister makes beautiful pies- the kind of pies that belong on the cover of Martha Stewart, and she has been making pies since she was 10. So naturally I stay away from pie.
Our pie was a team effort, and at times the process was a little stressful. Baking with a toddler is difficult and don't let blogger photos convince you otherwise.
I was a little upset by how messy the crust was.
and by the burnt crust (I put foil around the crust but when I went to rotate the pie, because our oven is a little uneven, it came loose). However, it's ok because it still tasted good, and we made it together. I am not a domestic goddess, and I am ok with that.
Your crust looks wonderful and your pie looks wonderful - If it tasted good you did what had to be done! Enjoy it! Just so you know I like my crust really brown - adds to the flavor!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks great! I really love this post, because at least you tried and everyone enjoyed the time spent together and you are trying your best! <3
