My aunt, who is really good at taking a hint, got me the new Pioneer Woman cookbook for Christmas. One of the first things I made was this apple pie. It was calling to me with it's pecan and caramel topping. I expected it to be good,
but when I took my first bite, my eyebrows went up in surprise. Not because it tasted good, but because it was literally a miracle on a plate. This pie was beyond AMAZING.
On a side note, today is Pi Day! So celebrate all things circular by making this pie. You won't regret it!
