Enough with the tarts BRING BACK THE PIE


I've spent the last month baking nothing but tarts and I am happy to have done so. Great practice, lots of chances to work with different fillings  ... Strawberry & Cherry,  Blueberry and Cream Cheese.
Today.. Apple Apricot.
They are wonderful. Easy to bake and I love the tart pans. They  make those little gems  perfect around the edges.
I've been getting plenty of  compliments  too... yet,
I feel sorta like I've been cheating.
The quest was for pie. (and well, yeah  the ring)
Ideally a 9" golden crust ~perfect circle , serving 6 glorious slices.. double crust  or lattice top , dripping with berry juices or Coconut Cream....mmmmmm.


I haven't baked a pie.

Today while shopping  for my usual  "bake 'em on Sunday and sell 'em on Monday-tarts"
I felt  a deep and sudden awakening.
While holding those Delicious looking Granny Smith's ..I knew what I should do.
I had a calling.   "Who are you baking  these for????"
Do you see the light?  ...on those shiny apples.. "I hear ya.... can I get an amen!!
#152 Classic Apple Pie








 But  Still need to travel this path. baking tarts every Sunday.
I  baked 12 tarts to sell this  Monday at my day job. The job I wish I could quit.
This brings the count to #163.
A girl's gotta think of her future too, ya know. and well.... I'll deal with my guy  when he tells me all these tarts don't count.... later.
