The apple pie before the pie crust goes on top!
Every year, my mother makes her famous apple pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is my dad's favorite pie, so she makes sure she makes it. This year, I was home for Christmas so I got to enjoy it, too. My dad and I helped my mother peel, cut, and slice the apples while she made the rest. The pie was great, and there was nothing left by the end of the night.
