As promised: Amaranth Baked Apple Pie

I've been toying with the idea of learning to cook more for a long time. I love cooking more than life or strong spirits.

So, many moons ago when Amaranth was still living with Vivica (who, incidentally, is awesome. Go tell her I said so, now, thankyou kindly), Amaranth's Mother Dearest gave Amaranth a shiny new set of baking crockery. Amaranth was overjoyed, and put them in the bottom of the kitchen never to be used.

Time passes.

Amaranth experiences a whirlwind month, and at the end finds that to Amaranth's considerable surprise, Amaranth can cook. And so, late at night when Amaranth has other things to be doing, Amaranth decides to make...

Canadian Apple Pie!

And off to the Twenty-Four hour supermarket Amaranth goes, skipping merrily (or shivering bitterly), to purchase ten thousand things.

Upon our return, Amaranth carefully lays out a pie crust:



...before proceeding to mix three different kinds of sugar. Lo, Brown Sugar graces Amaranth's bowl, to be greeted by Cinnamon and Nutmeg:


After a small accident involving Amaranth and the eating of what was going to be the pie filling, the pie is almost ready:



Soon, the pie is sealed, and then blessed, and ready for the oven:



And look! Amaranth is the best cook ever:


Pie is promptly promised to scaredofGirls, as well as other people.

There was a second story, but Amaranth decided Amaranth had better things to do. These things involve eating pie.
