Oh my goodness Apple Pie!

Apple pie is about my favorite dish EVER and I can't wait to try this recipe. I felt like I just had to share. I enjoy the Pillsbury website and many of their recipes. That's where I discovered this little gem along with its creator, Arlene Cummings of Cooking with Sugar. The blog is a goldmine of good cookin' that you might want to check out. ENJOY!
