not going to look for a separate baking thread, but made an apple pie for canadian thanksgiving (celebrated sunday at my mom's house) and it was kind of a pain in the ass, but also kind of fun to do as a couple (like a couples challenge event!) .
It looked like absolute crap when we put it in the oven, but came out looking decent and was very good and is now all eaten.
overall would do again on non-football, bad weather weekend.
