Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grandma bakes the Apple Pie for many family get-togethers. As the Grands grew older they enjoyed it more and more. Both Grandma and Ann Marie baked an apple pie for a holiday at John and Dawn's. The contest winner is yet to be determined. The Apple Rustic Tart is a free form dessert and is super easy to make.
