Apple Pie is Food!

Our apple pie came out great. I mixed the apples with lemon juice raisins and cranberries and a little bit of light brown sugar and cinnamon. I left the apple skins on and made the corn oil crust and it was fabulous and pretty.

Apple pie is food and can be eaten as a legitimate meal! 

In Vermont, apple pie isn't just food; it's the official state pie, with a law passed in 1999 designating it so, and even encouraging serving it with cold milk, a slice of cheddar cheese, or vanilla ice cream as a nod to state agricultural heritage. Vermont also recognizes the apple as the state fruit, and this iconic dessert, often featuring local apples and dairy, is a significant part of the state's culinary identity.
