When I was a kid, there were two kinds of apple pies that I liked: McDonalds and flapjacks.
For those of you nor from the south, flapjacks are small, handsome, homemade apple pies. Many people fried them, though mum Mom always baked them. I was shocked when as an adult I discovered some people used a variety of fruit fillings for them.
Somewhere towards adulthood McDonalds started being healthy (sounds contradictory, I know) and changed the crust and filling. Their apple pies have never been as good since.
I cannot make a decent pie crust. At some point I quit trying and accepted the fact that bought pie crusts tasted as good. A friend told me her family used canned biscuits suits for their crusts. So I finally gave it a try, using some apple butter that we needed to use up as filling. And they're not as good as Mom's or ReaRea's pies, but they are good. I might do this again.
