Thanksgiving Apple Pie

We always have apple pie as part of our Thanksgiving desserts. And it's always my mom's recipe.

Did you know that you can prepare this pie in advance, freeing you up to relax and enjoy the holiday with your family and friends?

My mom, for instance, likes to make the apple pie a week or so before Thanksgiving and freeze it. Then, when we sit down for the main Thanksgiving meal, she pops it in the oven, ensuring we have a warm, freshly baked dessert to enjoy.

Tips for making Homemade Pie Dough

Making your own pie dough may seem like a lot of work, but it's actually quite simple. And the end result is amazing!

Nothing tastes as good as homemade...especially for Thanksgiving. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

• First, be sure to chill your ingredients before you begin. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and make it easier to work with.
• Second, when flouring your work surface, use a light hand. Too much flour will make the dough tough.
• Third, roll the dough out from the center, using even pressure. Be sure to rotating the dough often so that it doesn't stick to the surface.
• Lastly, don't worry if the dough isn't perfect - imperfections can add charm to your pies. With a little practice, you'll be able to make homemade pie dough that's both delicious and impressive.
