Apple Baking for Caregroup!

Since Madison and I have been having so much fun with apples, we decided to make apple desserts for Caregroup snack this week.

Homemade Apple Pie

I use to make this more often when we lived in Maryland and would visit Butler's Orchard which was near our house. It was a great place to go apple picking!

Sorry there isn't a recipe for the apple pie. I just eye ball it. I don't have measurements of what I use. Hopefully it taste good since I am out of practice.
