Springtime Apple Pie

So, I have been in a bakey-place lately, although when I start to get the energy to actually act on it, the tools and ingredients and time requirements usually exhaust me mentally just THINKING about getting started...and then I walk a block over to the Atlanta Cupcake Factory and buy one of their delicious confections instead. :)

But, Glenn's sixth-quarter panel is today (yay, the end of the quarter is finally here!!), and he got some fantastic career-related news last week, so to celebrate I told him I would make him (or attempt to make him) any dessert he wanted. And he wanted Apple Pie. He loves my apple pies, and I never got the chance to make one last fall, so, although I normally don't have a taste for it this time of year, it seemed like the thing to do.

So, I made one. A new recipe I have never used before- and my first ever lattice-crust- and I think it turned out pretty well.
Here it is right out of the oven.
A top shot. Not a perfect lattice- but I think it's okay for my first try. And it looks so crisp!
Yum, gooey mounds of apply goodness....we will definitely enjoy cutting into this guy after panel this evening.
