Well I dont think of America when I think of Apple Pies , to me they represent a plump farmers wife baking them in an English farm kitchen or good old Mr Kippling
I think of my mother's apple pies, or tarts. (Pies had tops, tarts were open but often with a pattern over the fruit.) Wish I could do them like that ...
I know how you feel, straight after watching that programme I watched the Hairy Bikers make a traditional ENGLISH apple pie with Bramley apples, When it was taken out of the oven, the pie was so deep, so full of sliced apples with the most gorgeous golden sweet pastry they had to use a giant spatula to cut and pick the first slice out, they then placed it into a dish and proceeded to pour single cream slowly over it. I was eating a digestive biscuit with my cuppa at the time and felt right cheated !!
Been there! Done that! There should be a law or sumfink....in fact I do have an Apple Pie ready for for tomorrow’s lunch..it’s Father’s Day, undecided though on cream or ice cream on it..decisions decisions
I blame the Pilgrim Fathers (and/or Mothers) if they had not emigrated over the pond in the first place the americans would never have heard of apple pie!
