Pies. (Yes, I know, it's a boring title, but it's the best I got.)

This week we made Pies. Specifically Apple Pies. Actually we only made one pie; The other one was a Tartlet, or in layman's terms a little pie. So yeah, it's a pie. I like pies.

RECIPE #1: Apple Pie
This one was a fun recipe to make. While not exactly easy (I freaked out over getting the dough right) it tasted absolutely Fantasticalicious. I was told that the more you handled the dough the less flaky and pastry-like it would be when baked, but that wasn't the case at all. After having to re-roll the dough multiple times it still was flaky and good. I kinda turned it into a monstrosity getting it into the pan, but that doesn't make any difference in the taste so I'm not complaining. I could have done with a bit less salt, though. The filling was the creme de la creme de la creme. De la creme. It tasted SO FLIPPING DELICIOUS both before and after baking, and it was ridiculously easy to make. As you can guess there weren't any leftovers. I probably would make this or a similar recipe at home, if I could find a bigger pan.

RECIPE #2: Apple Tartlets
This one was stupefyingly simple- The most complicated thing about it was getting the filling to stay balanced on the crust. The dough honestly tasted better before it was baked, although it was kind of meh after it was baked so that isn't saying much. The apples tasted a bit weird after they were baked- Maybe it was the butter we melted on top of them. All in all it was a tasty recipe, but I probably wouldn't make this at home.
