This Deep Dish Apple Pie Recipe will make you feel incredibly thankful this year.
This is not just Apple Pie, but this is an amazing and comforting Deep Dish Apple Pie Recipe that anyone will enjoy!
Okay, so now we are to the good part of my Thanksgiving Recipe Round Up. DESSERTS! The first dessert on the list that I will be sharing is the Deep Dish Apple Pie. First of all, I like Apple Pie and the deeper the better. That means more apples and more crust (my favorite part). The absolute best part of any Apple Pie or fruit pie dish is the ice cream that comes with it. I am not sure why ice cream is an optional part of pie. It is necessary to have along with any pie! That or Cool-Whip. In any case, you must have something cooling to have with a nice warm slice of pie! It’s heaven. If you feel the same way about pie, then you will love this recipe for sure!
There is something nostalgic about making pie. It is very comforting, soothing, and, if shared with someone, can create a bonding experience. I look forward to making pies with my children and their children. It is the one dish that my son will be able to use to impress his wife and family. I hope this tradition like many of the traditions I plan to start with my family is something that he will carry down with his family. My hope is that he will be consumed with amazing love and instilled with strong family values that the legacy of our family, my husband and I, are trying to establish will be carried down for generations to come. And yes, making pies or any type of dish, especially around the holidays, can help mold that ideology and transform our hope of having a big healthy family into a reality. This Thanksgiving, trying making a dish with your loved ones. Maybe even this Deep Dish Apple Pie. Whatever you decide to make, just make sure that family is the intent and the connection that binds everyone together.
Happy Thanksgiving!
