I made another one of those not fancy pies the other night, but I got a little fancy with it. As I prepped the apples and put handfuls of slices in the bowl, they arranged themselves kind of like this, and I was inspired to try something a different. Maybe there's a technical term for this arrangment. I don't know. I'm calling it a basketweave and delicious!
The apples are Granny Smiths we got in a 3 pound bag from WalMart for less than four dollars. They're small, firm, and, like the pie - not fancy at all - but they know how to put on a good show when you ask them nicely and give them some fresh, loud cinnamon to call their own.
