Lights Out Apple Pie

I asked Alvaro what kind of cake he’d like for his birthday, and his answer was “Pie!”. So Apple Pie it is on this snowy Wednesday. After a busy day of sledding and a trip to the vet, I got all my ingredients out this afternoon, opened up the cookbook (I used the recipe “The Best Apple Pie” from The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion; and got to work. I was humming right along, about to put the filling into the crust and pop that baby into the oven when (duh duh duh) the lights went out! I stuck the pie plate with crust into the fridge and slapped some foil over the bowl of filling to stick it outside to keep chilled (since it was 28 degrees out there).

After an hour I figured if I was able to post anything today, it would have to be the way I used various jars and vases to create hurricane lamps for the candles around the house!
