Of course! You and Richardson are so right! Here's the mix: 2 Spies, 2 Honey Crisps, 2 Granny Smiths and a Gala--would have been 2 but the other was bruised.

I loved it! Also the advice to pie crust makers: pay attention. But one question: were those apples Northern Spies? It's what we consider the best pie apple in Maine. Heather Cox Richardson agrees.

Pat, a charming story--and a great example of second-person! Congratulations on pulling it off. And at our house, any pie is a good pie. 😊

Thank you for lying about the pie--but Charlie said the filling was great when he brought back my pie plate!
