Mom's Apple Pie

It is this cold and damp weather that makes me think of crock pot meals and my mom's epic Apple pie! I can just taste it, warm out of the oven and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! She had this large ceramic Apple pie dish that I still have and use. I'm sure some of you have seen them. I included the homemade Pir crust recipe too, I have to have the perfect crust! I don't know about anyone else but I do know what is for dessert tonight at my house 😊
