 Not the prettiest apple pie I've ever made, but it was eaten so fast it didn't matter!
We went to pick apples here and had an excess of sweet, tasty apples that were begging to be cooked. I have tried a few recipes and most are full of unnecessary sugar. This simple recipe will make a delicious pie and doesn't require extra sugar or take all day to make. I also bought a vegan pie crust and to make it even simpler. I used a large 10.5 deep dish pie plate, but you can adjust this simple recipe to fit your needs. Simple Vegan Apple Pie 2 Prepared vegan pie crusts 2 pounds apples 2 cups natural vegan apple sauce (unsweetened) 2 tablespoons cinnamon 1 tablespoon nutmeg Vegan butter Preheat oven to 350' (read the instructions on your pie crust) Place one pie crust in the bottom of your pie pan. Peel and cut your apples into thin slices. Transfer apples into a medium bowl, sprinkle in spices and stir to coat. Place coated apples in pie crust, add apple sauce till almost full and place the top pie crust over the apples. Seal the edges, and cut small steam slices in top crust and gently brush with vegan butter. Bake for for 50-60 minutes or until the apples are tender. Allow to sit for 20+ minutes before cutting. Enjoy!

 Tropical Depression/Hurricane Nicholas snuck up on us. We were already on the road to Texas when it hit. But we were still over 100+ miles away from the Gulf Coast and managed to miss most of the rain. It was downgraded to a tropical depression this morning and is dragging itself slowly over southeast Texas, leaving thousands in the dark and dumping a foot of rain. #OMG! While waiting for the storm to pass, we decided to stay north of the Gulf Coast and visited River Park in Boerne, Texas. We had a lovely picnic on the river and avoided most of the weather. The river was up due to the rains, but it was a nice break. There was plenty of wildlife out enjoying the overcast skies, and I'm sure, avoiding the high winds and rain south of us.. If you need a break watch the video...    We had a nice time in the orchards. Watch the video for all the fun and details. 🍎🍏  Recent Sunrise- I'm counting the days down to vacation and spending as much time as I can outside. I took these picture this week with my iPhone 12 Pro Max and must say it hasn't disappointed. I'm so ready to go on vacation and see how it does on random nature shots. We were supposed to be in Greece this month, but between covid and the wildfires it wasn't meant to be. BUT there are many other places on my travel list that I can't wait to explore. And I do truly believe nature is cheaper than therapy!  I've had the phone since June and it did take some getting used to, but now I love it!  Recent Sunset □ What do you think? Pretty decent pictures for a iPhone.
Speak soon~  Roadtrips later in the year mean finding fun at home this summer. July has been about fresh fruit, eating healthier, and catching up with old friends. (Okay, primarily online, but still.)  I tried blackberry smoothies, baked way too much and also did a bit of gardening. I'm still looking for a good summer read, as I power through my TBR pile of books and is it me, or is there NOTHING on TV right now??  The weather is actually too hot to move. UGH - So most of my day is spent inside glued to the a/c. I tried some new snacks via VeganCuts and baked at night.  VeganCuts haul □  Easy apple pie- It hasn't been a bad month, just rather uneventful.
Catch up with you soon~  Usually, when I do a "Best of" month post, it posts I have actually written, lol. But I didn't seem to have enough time. June was such a busy month I had no time to post! Between working, writing, and exploring, I came home, crawled into bed, and slept like a baby. There have been some dramatic sunsets and some frightening fires, flooding and hot weather this summer. New Mexico is experiencing fires and monsoons...so that it has been an adventure just driving down the mountain.  Such a contrast from one mile to the next...  I have been binge-reading rather than watching Netflix. And will have a few new book reviews up for you shortly.
Right now, I'm late for a dinner date in town and need to at least brush my hair before I make the trip down the mountain, Have a great July, and I promise to be back soon with more recipes and reviews. Later~ |
