I'd like to apologize to anyone who may read this: It's been a long time since I have posted, and there have been some darn good pies I should have written about.
Here's one, for example:
Calvados Apple Custard Pie. I'm not even sure how to describe this pie to you. Maybe the work 'Perfection' would be best. No, not that I am perfect in my pie making, but I think I did a pretty bang up job with this one! What I mean, is that, this pie...This pie might just be the perfect blend of flavors:
-Apple flavored brandy from the french region of Lower Normandy, twice distilled, to the appropriate level of deliciousness.
-Apples, sliced thin, and slowly sauteed in butter and sugar, until fragrant.
-Homemade custard, with a slight hint of the brandy, thick and creamy.
When put together into a deep dish flakey crusted pie shell, it's luscious, rich, divine. Equal parts apple, brandy and custard, all floating around your taste buds, like wisps of cloud in the vast noonday sky. One bite and it's as if you've transformed into this cigarette smoking, skinny jeans wearing, little dog walking frenchman. You just want to sit down at an outdoor cafe, drink your cafe au lait and talk about how zie AmeriKanz are zo stupeed.
So, what I'm really trying to say is that this is one delicious pie and that if it wasn't snowing, I would go to Giant right now to get some apples and heavy cream.
I have plenty of time for a slice, but no apples. What a sorry day this is...
