Crunch Top Applie Pie Recipe: It’s as Cuban-American as “Mami, Pastel de Manzana, y la Bandera” ;-)

November 29, 2007 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

I know you were wondering what we did with all those wounded apples from Thanksgiving.

Well, wonder no more.

The Galas (those are the red and yellow ones) went to my mom's and she reported that they are now two jars of delicious homemade applesauce.

The Granny Smiths (the green ones) went into a pie.  A good ole homemade Crunch Top Apple Pie.

But, but, but. . . (I can hear you sputtering. . .)

That's not Cuban food!

No. You're right.  It's Cuban-American food.  Lucy made it!  =D

She's a Cuban-American (version 2.0).  (Get your own 2.0 gear here.)

Sheesh!  😉

Getting ready for the holidays here.  I made Crème de Vie (Cuban egg nog) over at Babalú today.  (Impossibly) Sweet!

    Hey Marti-Catching up on your blog this evening while MY house if full of laughing and very creative kids doing STUFF. I have 6 kids plus my own 4. Jessica wrote a Nativity play and she is directing the neighborhood kids in it. The boys ranging from 9th grade to 5th are patiently taking directions from my very first born girl…I love being surrounded by all this! What great kids! In the midst of all this I, of course, thought of you :o)
    Anyway, the reason I am responding on this post is because I have already made my first batch of egg nog too! We had Bunco at my house the other night and I had to serve coffee with a kick. YUM!!!
