For Margaret
Last week we took our church youth group apple picking to the next town over and had a GREAT time. All the years I've lived in the area, I've never visited this farm and was so happy to finally discover it.
I freshly picked Cortland apples direct from the tree for the FIRST time in my life for use in making apple pie. My grandmother told me several years ago when I gave her a slice of the first pie I'd ever baked, that it tasted EXACTLY like my great grandmother's apple pie recipe. When she asked me what apples I'd used, I told her Cortlands (which I'd happened to decide on my own that I liked best in the recipe). She told me that those were the ONLY apples my great grandmother used in her pies.
I definitely felt like a part of my past was reaching through to guide me. So this pic is for Great Grandma Dexter.

Love the photo and the story that goes with it! I remember your photos on making apple pie! I could smell and taste your apple pie, yummy, Natallie! I hope your kids will learn it to, so it can be passed from generation to generation....

Apple Corps and The Beatles thank you. For me it's all about the pie crust. Cool tribute pic.
