Rustic Harvest Apple Pie

My family hails from Waterloo County, with a rich German Mennonite history, and some of the most delicious food you've ever tasted in your life. One of our family's favourite comfort foods was the homemade apple pie that my mother used to bake for Sunday dinner after church each week. Read more Her recipe came straight from a Mennonite favourite, and continues to be passed down in our family. This pie was especially good when it was made out of the apples we helped pick during one of our annual fall outings to a local orchard. There's nothing better than picking a crisp, fall day to make a family trip to the orchard and pick a bushel of Macintosh apples together. It's a great way to reconnect with your kids. (No batteries required.) Wonderful when served with a dolop of french vanilla ice cream, or a slice of old Canadian cheddar cheese. See less
