Apple pie is one of my favorite pies.
My grandparents had a farm with lots of fruit trees and when the apples were ripe I would go pick them with my grandpa and then we would take them to my granny who made this fantastic Apple Pie.
I always wanted to eat it fresh from the oven, but it was really too hot and so my granny would put it to cool at the window like Grandma Duck did and the scent went all over the farm.
And when it was finally cold I always made a feast of it, sometimes giving me a stomach ache, but it was definitely worth it!
