 Good Afternoon, Buonasera, Buenas Tardes, 

 Most people´s 1st selection choice for dessert is a home made fruit pie with home made pie crust, according to Better Homes & Garden Magazine´s Editorial and Kitchen Staff. Mom Eva was quite a baker in her time, and thus, here is her home made Apple Pie with home made pie crust just in time for the holidays. 

I recently prepared my Mom´s Apple Pie with home made pie crust, for Thanksgiving:

Since the Vet has been in Sao Paulo, Brazil on business, I had no assistance with the camera, to provide a Pictorial, however, the photo demonstrates the end result, which is marvelous. 

Here is the recipe ...
