My mother and father are here until Friday afternoon and have been a great help since the baby was born. They’ve been driving the boys to and from school and mom has been cooking, baking and doing laundry. As well as helping with Baby K.
Yesterday as I passed through the always clean when mom is here kitchen I had a memory of the apple pie that she would often make when I lived in her house. She makes it with this wonderful sugar/butter crumbly topping and I used to hover over it once it was out of the oven and pick off the biggest chunks of topping. Only when she wasn’t looking of course.
So, as I eyed the apples in the fruit basket I asked her if she would make one and it wasn’t long before my father was off to the store to buy pie crusts. She’s a good woman, that mom of mine. SUCH a good woman. Yeah, and by around 11 a.m. or so the house smelled of delicious apple pie and I was poking my head in the oven door to see and smell it’s goodness.
And a few of the crumbles may have found their way into my mouth while mom and dad were picking the boys up from school. Ah, just like old times….
Oh and after dinner (yes, I waited that long and yes, I’m really surprised too) I enjoyed my slice with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, thankyouverymuch.
(you know you want some…)
Nothing beats having a great mom. So happy things are going so well for the family!!

After Tommy was born, my mom made me an apple pie because her apple pies are my favorite, too. I ate the whole thing! Our moms are the best.:)
Yummy-yummy-yum! ‘Tis the season for pies!
Yes I do want some. Apple pie is my favorite.
YUM in my TUM. I bet it’s delish.
So your mom is on her way here tomorrow then? Good, I’ll be ready with apples and pie crust.
my husband is wondering if your mom is available- for marriage.
Again with the pie? Oh, it looks so yummy and sugary delicious!
Oh yum! We went to the orchard and I made an apple pie last week. I’m glad you commented on my blog. I’ve been overwhelemd lately trying to keep up with comments and trying to respond to people. I always enjoy your blog. It’s one of the ones I really WANT to read.
Yummy!
I just love pie.
Yes, yes I do want some, lol.
So cute of your mom and dad (running to the store and all) to do that!
Over here please! And where is the recipe?!
Some day they are going to figure out to tweet or e-mail pie! Yumm…glad you got to enjoy that…you deserve it…and hope you had your wine too! Hooray for non-preggo-swollen-feet – go get a pedi now Mommy. xo
Moms are the best! My mom always cooks for me too after I have babies.
And now I want pie.

Yummo, home made apple pie with ice cream – one of life’s simple pleasures.
Years from now you will probably be cooking this same apple pie for Katie after she has her own babies – how sweet will that be?!?!
Apple pie is my favorite and I love that your mom came into town and made it for you…that is the sweetest.
Hope you are doing great and that things are settling down a bit.
Nom. Nom…….
OMG!!! Okay you must fill me in!! The pie looks delish and that baby…I could eat her up as well! So happy for you!! You named her EXACTLY what my very best friend from HS named her newest edition, even spelled the same. Great minds!!!
I make the best dutch apple pie ever, but I’m guessing that your moms is pretty darn good!
Yummm! And vanilla bean ice cream is my favorite as well!
So fun that you made a pie from the apples in the fruit basket. If it tasted as good as it looks in the picture . . . mmmm.
