Rustic Freeform Apple Pie

Repost/update 😃🍎🍏

I do fold it different than original recipe states, but that’s not important; the more rustic and different the more charming. I think they’re beautiful. Also, sometimes I make one large one, sometimes individual, depends on what I happened to have at the time. Obviously I don’t always lay out apple slices so neatly either 😉

pssssst….you know no1 can beat Jacques Pépin; so I’ve tossed in his recipe link

I used Honey Crisp, because they’re our favorite.

Made brown sugar because > confession: I forgot I bought more; I could totally leave that part out 😜

I LOVE molasses flavor.

You should see my shirt 😜

I didn’t have parchment paper. Make it work 😉

Obviously I think they’re beautiful. And tastes DELICIOUS!
