3rd Times the Charm????

I need a little bit of luck today.

Both my mom and sister have attempted making homemade flour tortillas and they didn't seem to come out right.

Lets see if I can get it ...

Been wanting to try this for months ...

Just couldn't bring myself to try it yet.

Lol

Kinda chicken!

Ill admit it.

My grandma has ALWAYS made homemade torts and they're delicious! 

However ...

She doesn't have a recipe ...

Just throws the ingredients in a bowl and TADA! 

Homemade deliciousness! 

Lol

So here's my first attempt ...

Personally I don't think there's enough water in them ...

Seems like they're gonna flake apart but maybe that's how they're supposed to be.

Lol

I'll try adding a little bit more next time ...

Can't seem to roll them out in a perfect circle either!

Lmao!
gonna have to work on that.

But that's ok ...

Cast iron pan needs to be super hot ...

I actually ended up turning mine down a bit cuz I burnt the first couple ...

Tho that didn't stop the kids from eating them anyway.

Lol

Ended up cooking them less on each side then the recipe calls for too ...

And even tho they're kinda small and not perfect circles ...

They're still soft enough to roll.

Tho they seem a bit thick for me ...

But still delicious!

Far from the ones my grandma makes but pretty darn close!! 

=)
Thank you Merci Mama for the recipe!
definitely throwing this one in my recipe book for next time!

Happy Sunday Peeps!
i'm out!
Time to make some cupcakes!
=)

First Time ...

People that know me ...

Know that I do NOT like pie.

Not a pie girl ... At all!

I'm a cupcake girl!

Everyone knows that!

Lol

However ...

My parents were up to their ears in apples. 

It's that time of year.

Asked if they gave me some if I would make an apple pie for them. 

First time for everything right?!

I've never made a pie.

Scratch that ...

I've made Cream Cheese Pie.

But that has a graham cracker crust.

Completely different!!

This has an ACTUAL pie crust.

Never done that before.

Not gonna lie ...

I'm nervous at how it comes out. 

So I got on Pinterest to try and find a recipe.

Found one that didn't seem TOO hard. 

Had almost all the ingredients too!

Perfect! 

Was just missing two.

Stopped at the store yesterday to grab it and I was set this morning to give it a go.

Cut up the apples ...

(Thinking to myself ... Are these even the right size?!) 

Oh well!

Hahaha!

Mixed in all the other ingredients ...

And put it on the stove. 

Above is the before ... 

And here's the after!

They look delicious right?! 

Had to let those cool so I decided to start on the crust.

The apples I was fine with ...

It's the crust that freaks me out!

Lol

A little Fun Fact about me ... 

I HATE cutting butter into a flour mixture! 

Oh em gee!

It took FOREVER! 

But I finally got it all in.

Geez.

Rolled it out and fit it to my pie plate.

Even gave it a fancy edge! 

Ha! 

Had to keep it simple.

After I filled the crust with the apples ...

Personally I don't think that's enough apples ...

But that's all I had to work with.

Lol

Decided to challenge myself and make a lattice top for this pie. 

Turns out the lattice was UBER easy! 

Kinda thinking that a full crust layer on top would've been a lot harder!

Lol

Having to fit it just right.

No thanks!

I even added some stars to make it pretty! 

Haha! Now it's in the oven baking ... 

Figured I'd start the blog while it bakes. 

Lol

Here's the link to the recipe that I used ...

Thank you Domestic Goddess for the recipe and helping me make my first Apple Pie.

The edges of the pie started getting dark so I covered the pie with some foil in hopes that it doesn't burn.
That's the last thing I want or need!!
lol

Well ...

Here it is!

All finished.

Now I just gotta hope that the crust is baked completely thru-out!

It's definitely pretty! 

Hopefully the family loves it later!

Ta-ta for now peeps!! 

Happy Saturday!
