This is a freakin' huge pie. My pie dish is ten inches across and the apples top out about five inches above the dish.

It's actually a rather ugly pie today. The top crust broke as I was putting it on. Actually all my apple pies end up being ugly. I'm crust challenged. But they taste pretty good. It's breakfast food here.

It's a pretty standard recipe. The crust has a tablespoon of vinegar added to it. It helps keep it from getting tough as you roll it out.

I add a third of a cup of Scotch to the apples as I put them in along with a sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg mixture.
