MOM'S MAPLE-APPLE PIE

Mom's Maple-Apple Pie image

Mom's apple pie might be a cliché, but others have tried and failed to rival my mom's recipe. My siblings and I panic when anyone else takes the holiday apple pie assignment, but we make sure Mom is making hers, too. -Rebecca Little, Park Ridge, Illinois
