Apple Pie

 Recently, I made my first apple pie from scratch.  The dough is really hard to get right and directions can help to a point.  Living at 8,000 altitude can have an effect.  Anyhow, I followed a couple of cook book recipes, compared and contrasted, and then went to work.  The crust did not look so good as in the pictures or bakery shops.  But wow, did it taste good.  The monks were so happy that they did an especially good job of cleaning up the kitchen, considering I baked bread, made french fries on the stovetop, Lima beans on stovetop, and rock fish baked in the oven.  So I guess with pies, it is not how it looks on the outside but how it tastes on the inside that counts.  So too with us.  Work on the insides.
