It's been a very long time since my maternal ancestress of sacred memory was around, but I recall she used to sprinkle some lemon juice on top of apple pies.

I wouldn't know--this is all so very long ago--but perhaps she even occasionally put in a little bit of pear; it seems to me she did stuff like that.

Her apple pies of course were good.

She made them with both solid top crusts, and lattice-top crusts.

One awesome characteristic of the solid top crusts was that as the pie baked, the apples sank and the top crust rose, and so when the pie was cut, there was a big yawning chasm between the downfallen apples, and the uplifted top crust.
I had the same thing happen with my crusts.  It seemed like the egg wash would stiffen the whole top of it so there was a huge cave under there.  The pears don't cook down as much and compliment the flavor of the apples.  I guess the acids in the lemon juice tenderize the apples?  I don't really know why it's in there

in Japan they grew perfect organic apples. They pinched off about 2/3's of the apple blossoms and then tied a bag over the ones that were left to protect them from the bugs. While we were paying 15 cent for an apple here the Japanese were paying $5 for an apple in Japan.
In Japan, I've seen perfect little watermelons selling for $100 and up.

Shop Rite has pies on sale for $1.88 this week, we picked up a bunch to keep in the freezer and 1 of them was a Dutch Apple Pie, almost as good as homemade.

yes they do, homegirl! You're cracking me up!

It seems as though from what I've read that organic fruits and vegetables cause high outbreaks of E-coli.

My apples are organic but they come from my own tree. I also make a kick ass apple pie.

5. Last year I used more than 20 pounds of butter for Christmas baking.

A lot of butter for a homeless wacko.

Poor addled grasswipe Judy Smith uses butter the way coach uses sour cream.
