The best part of Thanksgiving at Gran’s was the dessert collection. I couldn’t ever decide, so I had small pieces of English Apple Pie, this, and this. Bliss, I tell you.

English Apple Pie

4 large apples (I use half Granny Smith, half Fuji.)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Butter a baking dish. Peel and thinly slice apples, place in dish. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over apples.

Cover with crust:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup self-rise flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 T. water
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Cream butter and sugar. Add other ingredients. Mix and spread over apples.
Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Delicious served warm with high-quality vanilla ice cream.
