For my father's 77th birthday each of his daughters had agreed to bake some home made pastry. When I asked him what he wanted his request was apple pie. But not just ANY apple pie, it had to be "American" apple pie! This used to be one of our favourite recipes ... thirty years ago ( oh my I'm getting OLD!) but it got forgotten over the years. Baking it again after all this time brought back old memories. And his birthday party was a success.
But before I started baking ... well, you know me, I photograph just about EVERYTHING?
I just HAD to do a photo shoot with my apples!

How could you murder them and eat them after getting to know them so well?
LOL! Great pics -- and here in America, we prefer Dutch Apple Pie!
Beautiful macros!
Great photos!!
Nice shots of the apples Jientje!
I'm sure the apple pie was great and your dad loved it very much :)
I hope your pie was a great as those photos.
Can I have a bite?
The first one's my favorite, I think.
Lovely and well done :D!
Happy belated birthday to your Dad :)
But where is the finished pie? Did you use a crumb topping? I'm hungry now :)
Mmm, apples. I bet that pie was delish. Can you email me a piece? ;)
My Dad lives in Paris and when he comes over to visit me in California, he always asks for apple pie too. We rarely eat it ourselves. It's delicious but I do miss "La tarte aux pommes," from France. My American husband says that the French tarte doesn't have cinnamon which he misses.
Looks like the apples I bought on the midi market in Brussels on sunday ! very appetizing and a very good taste !
I've never appreciate the beauty of an apple so fully. Thank you for showing us what the eye can't see. :)

My mouth is watering for a slice of apple pie , right out of the oven with a slice sharp cheddar cheese to go with it. I do not like Dutch Apple Pie! Happy Birthday to your Dad!
Oh yes! Deep dish American Apple Pie, warm out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Yum!
