MissFattyFoodie made a healthy yet delicious home made dessert taken from the John Butler cookbook. Eat it as it is, hot from the oven, or serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Ingredients are pretty simple as well, preparation probably requires quite abit of time. However, the result is worth all the effort!
Couldn't decide which color apples to use so decided to buy a mixture of both. Look at the gorgeous colour! An apple a day keeps your morning blues away....
After placing the rolled out dough on the pan, dust it with flour so that it won't turn sticky or moist.

The most tedious part would be peeling, coring and slicing the apples. Time consuming and tiring.
The preparation took such a long time that my not-so-loyal-now audience gave up waiting for any bits of pie and went to sleep instead...
