Well, a guest at our home a while back backed an apple pie while I
watched and learned. She used that mix (by the way, I forgot to mention
the margarine that dab here and there on the apples), and her pie came
out delicious. So did mine the first few times I made it.

But that was a bunch of years ago, and I've forgotten how she made it so
delicious. Plus, I harken back to my own mother's apple pie when I was
young. Come to think of it, though my mother didn't use canned apple pie
filling, as far as I recall.
