Homemade Apple Pie

I've never like pie, any kind of pie, until a couple years ago I made homemade apple pie, tried it, and fell in love! Yum! Ever since then I've been making homemade apple pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas. In the spirit of Apple Cup I garnished the pie with Footballs made from extra pie crust… and even though the game didn't turn out how we would have liked I still and always am proud to be a COUG!
