Kiwi Pie, Sort of

Happy Labor Day Weekend Everyone!!

 

Here's a quick sweet dessert that goes great with a cup of coffee

or a scoop of ice cream!

 

3 apples peeled and cubed (your choice) I use Delicious apples

1 kiwi peeled and cubed

1/4 cup butter

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice

4 Tablespoons sugar

1 Tablespoon flour

1 teaspoon Vanilla flavor

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 pie crust

Pre-heat oven 325 degrees
Spray pie pan before arranging pie crust and set aside
In large bowl, mix all ingredients stirring well.
Pour into pie crust and fold pie crust towards the center so that it lays over your mixture except just as the center. If you'd rather use 2 pie crusts then seal mixture within the two. Use a knife to slice and X in the center and pull edges  apart.
Sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon atop crust and bake for 45 to 55 minutes.  

I baked this recipe this morning with every intention of taking a photo. I took it out to cook and went out to the back forty to visit with Buzzard Bait. I was only gone about an hour and when I came back my company as arrived.
 There were crumbs left.......sigh
 Everyone had a guilty look on their faces.
Well maybe I was gone a little longer than an hour because I got busy snapping pics of nature after Buzzard Bait grew tired of  following me around and looking for range cubes in my pockets. She was not happy that I didn't remember to bring her a treat......

Here she is gnawing on the handle of my old bike as a punishment to me. I tried to shoo her away but she was persistent.

 

It's been very dry here for a couple of years so some of land and trees are fairing not so well. We don't allow the cows back in this area at all.

Look at this beauty. I love dead trees. They have loads of character. You may see this one in a quilt one of these days.

So maybe it was my fault for not getting back to the house before the cousins arrived.....LOL
