Thanksgiving Pictures: Dan’s Weaved Apple-Cherry Pie Crust

Last week was Thanksgiving – it felt more like early New York fall here in San Diego. The leaves have barely turned and the highs are in the 70’s. I miss the crispness in the air and the falling yellow, red and brown leaves (although it’s way past that time in New York) – they are probably now talking about snow there. Well yeah, grass is always greener on the other side. I shouldn’t be complaining about San Diego – the fabulous sunsets we’ve had this month, have been absolutely breathtaking.

So, its day before thanksgiving and Dan suggests we make an apple-cherry pie with a weaved pie top –and I 'm like “yeah, I’m not doing this, it’s too difficult!!” So, move away Shiva, Dan’s in charge of the pie. Wow, just look at that pie top (and this is the first time he did it). Amazing!!!
