You don’t peel your apples? You remind me of the 2-3 dozen muffins I make every Sunday. I end up, giving them all away to my neighbors and friends, and rarely even have an opportunity to eat one.
There are very few apples that I peel...maybe Granny Smith and Cosmic Crisp as the skins are a bit thick. There is tannin in the skin that adds to the flavor and pectin that helps with thickening.
Be sure and get the original. The Veg-O-Matic 2 isn't strong enough. I found several of those on sale at a hardware store and broke on the first apple! I picked my first one up at a yard sale for $2. Then bought them on Ebay for $9. I have no idea what they are selling for now.
Love this video Kate and oh my goodness you are gluten free as I must be! Do you ever bake a pie using gluten free flour? I would never love your thoughts on what flour would be best to use.

Giving bakes away is so much fun!
Giving bakes away is how we show love. It kept me sane during Covid lockdowns.
It keept me sane too, Susan , and I still engage in LOTS of baking therapy. Here's a piece Seattle Magazine asked me to write during the COVID lockdown about that. https://seattlemag.com/city-life/stories-seattle-how-baking-helps-kate-mcdermott-cope
What a cool story! I’m going to watch now!
Great!!
I enjoyed watching this film. The love you put in your pie baking is the secret ingredient.
It's the most important ingredient in pie ... and life!
This is a WONDERFUL film. Loved it! And you!
Thanks Vicki! We're overdue for a catch up.
Does banana cream pie ever make it onto the "to do" list at Pie Cottage?
Indeed it does! Pie Camp: The Skills You Need to Make Any Pie You Want , the third book I'm so lucky to have had published has a Nanabanana Cream Pie.
Yea!
And it's one of my favorite pie recipes ever!
Kate, you lead a charmed life. The most amazing things happen to you. Thanks for sharing this adventure.
You never know what life is going to bring next.
Wonderful Kate! So fun to hear the sizzle and see you back in 2009. ❤️ Carrie
Sweet, Kate, to see and hear your love of pie all those years ago. BTW, cool apple slicer😊
Agree! Kate, what is that apple chopping tower called?
It's vintage 1960s Veg-O-Matic!

Okay! Totally looking out for one now. 😀

Dang.I think I just blew it. We shall see!
Did you order at Veg2?
eBay 😂
Enjoyed the film and learning about the two types of pie-sound😃
I will listen to the next pie I bake. I know the feel, the scent, the taste, but I've never listened to my pies.
I wish I could come to Pie Cottage and experience that time with you.
I wish you could too!
Brought back memories of endless apple pies I made for my late Father. Love apple pie with blueberry next!
That's a good pie.
precious!
Love this video Kate and oh my goodness you are gluten free as I must be! Do you ever bake a pie using gluten free flour? I would never love your thoughts on what flour would be best to use.
I do and use Bob's Red Mill One to One GF All Purpose Flour or King Arthur Measure for Measure GF Flour.
What a wonderful film. I didn’t know pies had heartbeats! I absolutely love the way you explained that.
I'm happy you like it!
