I remember a time when I was little that my grandmother would bake pies as I sat at the kitchen table and watched. One of my favorite things was eating the pie crust with no pie filling. She would spend a couple of hours baking pies to sell. I remember her as she would take a lightly floured surface and roll out the pie dough. I’m not sure how many pies that I watched my grandmother bake, but they were delicious and I will always have those wonderful memories.
