If I ever make anything to eat that is really, really good, something I would serve to company...I need to tell you about it. I made this as soon as I came home from work today, so that Richard would have this wonderful cinnamony apple smell greet him when he walked in the door.
Wait...why did I call this gluten free apple pie a la moon? Because we enjoyed it under a beautiful moon, of course. And you know my Richard took photos for you!
I'll keep this recipe for when we get our glut of apples in the autumn. I'm always looking for new things to do with them.
ReplyDeleteLovely moon pictures. I noticed the moon here last night too, after a spell of cloudy nights when I couldn't see it at all.
Easter greetings from the English midlands.
Hey Joanne!
DeleteLovely to see your comment here! Please come by anytime!
And thank you, I sometimes have photos on here that I have taken, but I bow to the master...my husband takes most of them!
Easter greetings to you. (Ah, the English midlands, I hope you are a Moody Blues fan!)
Great moon pictures, thanks to Richard! And I can almost smell that lovely apple pie. Yes, even without being on a gluten-free diet, I am 100% sure I'd love a plateful of that!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am 100% sure that you would love it!
DeleteI was happy to see these moon photos with our new little camera, I thought they were really good!
What a lovely post, Kay. I absolutely love those moon photos! Stunning. And that pie recipe looks and sounds terrific. Hot apple pie with a scoop of ice cream on top. OHMYGOODNESS...yummy! That is a nice song from Chris De Burgh. I enjoy his music. One of my favourites is 'A Spaceman Came Traveling'. Have you heard it? It's from his album 'Spanish Train and Other Stories'; a terrific collection of songs.
ReplyDeleteDear Martha,
DeleteI think that Chris De Burgh will tour in Canada this year but he won't tour in the USA, sad to say.
Oh yes, I think I know all of his songs as we are all big fans. And "A Spaceman Came Traveling" is one of my favorites.
Oh dear, now I think I have to devote a post just on Chris De Burgh! :-) He has a new CD which I just found out about, and I think I will ask for it for my birthday!
Love,
Kay
Yes, I saw that moon! It illuminated the white flowering cherry tree in our yard---it actually glowed in the moonlight. But I didn't have anything like your delicious apple pie to eat while gazing at it. :-(
ReplyDeleteRichard's moon photos are amazing...thanks for posting them. And thank you for the wonderful recipe, Kay. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Glowing cherry tree in the moonlight...sounds like someone needs to write a poem!
DeleteI was over the moon happy over those photos!
And I would think you could make that recipe with wheat flour, I just never have since Richard must be gluten free.
And a Happy Easter to you too, and to your loved ones.
I don't think I've ever tried anything gluten-free, but that pie looks delicious. Those moon photos are simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The pie was wonderful! My husband is the only one who has to be gluten free, but you notice the three bowls, don't you? :-)
DeleteWell, Kay, good going for making me hungry for pie so early in the morning! I love trying new recipes and especially ones that use great ingredients. I'll have to e-mail you the recipe I have for biscotti that are all done with ground almonds - no flour! Thanks for the recipe and the song (I love Chris De Burgh!!) Love, Silke
ReplyDeleteOh, and of course, you have such good taste, I knew you would love Chris De Burgh too!
DeleteHappy Easter!
Oops, I was wrong - my recipe for the biscotti has some whole wheat flour in it. xoxo Silke
ReplyDeleteHey Silke!
DeleteThat's okay, send it anyway...I could probably swap the whole wheat flour for something else! (That is what Shirley, from glutenfreeeasily does all the time!)
Take care!
Wow, these images of the moon are lovely! Hope you have a nice Easter Holiday.
ReplyDeleteBest,
e
Dear Elizabeth,
DeleteThank you. The moon is so beautiful and is there for all to enjoy.
Love,
Kay
We love apple crisp (that's what we call it here) so much that I made it for our Christmas Eve dessert. Richard's moon pics are gorgeous! "We are under the same moon, the same sun" is what my soon to be husband used to tell me on the phone before we got married and were living in different cities. This was before email and Skype and messenger, lol!!
ReplyDeleteDear Jane,
DeleteThanks Jane! And your new photo is great! And since I am married to my pen-pal you know that I know what you mean before email and Skype! Did you know this song too?
Lovely pie, lovely pics.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment!
Delete:-) Wish you could have smelled that cinnamon!

ReplyDeletePerfect post as I have some apples I need to use up. I will make this today :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs, I particularly like the one with all the cloud. Richard is very clever.
Dear Tracey,
ReplyDeleteOh, I would be so pleased if you tell me how it turns out for you!
Like you, I tend to make this when I have some apples that are "getting on a bit" as my English husband calls them! That is why I put some OJ or pineapple juice with them, since they might be a bit drier than fresh apples.
And thanks for the compliment to Richard for his photos. I am amazed sometimes at how good they are!
Great pictures of the moon Kay G, and I just love that gluten free Apple pie recipe, it has been saved and will be checked out, as I am always looking for gluten free recipes. With temperatures in Scotland right now being what they are, I can't see me eating it under a full moon anytime soon !!
ReplyDeleteHey P!
DeleteThanks for your comment! Richard took all those wonderful shots of the moon, and I loved them!
So happy that you like this Apple Pie recipe. I am not a good cook or baker, but I am getting better. Did you notice that this recipe is from Shirley Braden at www.glutenfreeeasily.com
She has the best recipes and EASY to make! She has Garlic Cheese Biscuits and Perfect Poundcake recipes that are to die for! If you look at those recipes and read the comments you will see my name praising her to the skies!
I made it, and it was a real hit! I liked that the crust is spread on, so there is no need to roll it out, as you would with regular pasty. It makes it a quick, easy and very tasty pudding.
ReplyDeleteSadly we couldn't eat it under the moon either as it was raining. Not complaining though as we need it.
Dear Tracey!
DeleteI am so tickled (you say chuffed) that you made the recipe!!! And I love how in England, a dessert is called a "pudding", we don't say that in the USA, but I know it because of my time in England!
Did I mention it was easy? Maybe I didn't but if I ever make anything, it has to be easy! Did you make this with regular wheat flour or did you make it gluten free? I would love to know!
We need rain too, but alas, this weekend it is sunny and mid 70's...we'll just have to make do! :-)
I had to make it with regular flour, because I had none of the gluten-free. However, I would like to try it again, sticking exactly to the recipe, because I like the sound of the almond flour.
DeleteDear Tracey,
DeleteThank you so much for telling me so now I can tell my friends at work they can make it with their regular flour! This pleases me so much that you made this and liked it, when you put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top, I hope it will remind you of a full moon!
I am sorry that I didn't post the blog name correctly on this post so I have deleted the recipe. Just enjoy the moon photos and the song!
