Grandma's Pie

Grannie made such beautiful pies!

One day, I asked her, "How do you get such beautiful pies

with the crimps around the edge so even?"

"It's a family secret," she said.

"So promise not to tell.

I roll out the dough, then cut a bottom layer

and carefully put it in the pie plate.

Then I slowly pour the filling, making sure it's not too full.

Next I cut a top layer and put it over the filling.

Finally, I take out my teeth and just run them

around the edge of the pie crust,

and they make the nicest even impressions you ever did see."

I have had this picture for a little while now but was just waiting for the right time to make a post of it. Yesterday I made an apple pie from some Granny Smith apples I had leftover from the last batch I bought at the apple farm. That's when this pic popped into my mind again, and I just had to share it with you all! Sorry, but I forgot to take a pic of the pie I made. And, no, I do not have false teeth, so my crust was just crimped with my fingers!
