Baking Apple Pies in the Oven

Happy (Early) Thanksgiving Everyone!

Aaron asked me if I would make a couple of my apple pies for Thanksgiving with my family tomorrow.  It’s been awhile since I baked this particular pie recipe.  He brought it up three or four times, each entreaty accompanied by ever-escalating puppy dog eyes, so I knew he wanted me to do it even though I was planning on making some sort of specialty cake in the spirit of the honey lemon bee hive dessert I baked a few years ago; maybe a giant pumpkin or spice cake, in the (appropriately enough) shape of a pumpkin, with a cream cheese glaze drizzled over it; even better, perhaps a chocolate peanut butter bundt cake!  (Normally, I like vanilla cake with buttercream frosting but who doesn’t like chocolate and peanut butter?!)
