OK everyone, you cannot imagine just how good this recipe is. I am so glad to have found this recipe again. Back when I was a young bride with minimal cooking skills, my MIL gifted me with 2 Farm Journal cookbooks and this was the first recipe I tried. It was wonderful and totally boosted my confidence in cooking. Don't miss this one since apples are coming on strong right now. -
I have been making this "pie" since the early '80's. I bought the cookbook as a new bride and there many great recipes in it. I am not a fan of regular apple pie, go figure, but I love this one. It is easy to put together and really taste great hot or cold. (Not that we ever had any left over!)<br/>Tonight I decided to make it using puff pastry. It came out beautiful. To get the cheese effect I finely grated chedder cheese over the puff pastry. I also didn't have any powdered creamer so I just used powdered milk. Same great texture and taste. This is a must bake pie!!! -
I have been looking for this recipe for a long time. I am glad I found it. I will make it for thanksgiving. My grandmother used to make it.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
