It’s my birthday today!

Eh, it’s just another day, right? My kids are so crazy excited for my birthday, I think they expect presents too! My ten year old asked me what I am making for the “special birthday breakfast” (I always make them somethings special on their birthdays) and I think it’s hilarious that they expected me to make myself something special on MY birthday.  I guess I did make myself this pie for my birthday so that’s a little weird.

Ah….gotta love kids…

This pie is my everything.  Fresh baked apples, autumn spices and walnuts….always walnuts.  They give such a wonderful, nutty texture to the crust, I promise you won’t miss the traditional pie crust!

And I don’t know about you, but put crumb topping on just about anything and I am overjoyed.  I can’t get enough of crumb topping.

I mean, it is MY birthday.

Today I plan on enjoying time with my family.  Since I don’t care much about my own birthday, it’s a great excuse for us all to be together.  No sports.  No video games.  Just simple family time.  And maybe this apple pie.

And a scoop of ice cream (duh!)
