Yes, I make a sour cream apple pie of my mother's, but yours looks
sooooooo creamy! The recipe you used is different from the one I use.
I like the idea of streusel topping. I keep intending to make one
that way. I'll probably be forced to make a side-by-side comparison
of the two recipes. LOL!

Thanks,

It's totally delicious! And if you make it with yoghurt and keep the
portion size reasonable, it's not nearly as sinful as it looks. I just
typed the recipe into the calorie analyser (the diet starts again
today and there's 3/4 of the pie left!) and if you have 1/12 of the
pan then it only has 230 calories a slice. Which seems fair enough to
me for dessert! I just had a piece with my lunch... mmmm...

How could anyone eat just 1/12 of a pie? I consider it a personal failure
if I don't manage to eat at last half of the pie. :-)))

I admire the skills someone has who can cut a pie into
twelths! Is that even a word??

I admire anyone who, after someone has cut a pie into twelths, asks for 3
pieces. :-)

(laugh) I cut pies into tiny pieces, but I had two. Different
pies. I have to try each, right?

That works for me, as long as there are at least 8 pies. :-)

Yes, I guess it is "twelfths". <g>

It's a big pie dish :P

Twelfths is easy to do btw - you just cut it into quarters and then
cut each quarter into three instead of the usual two. and then you can
go back for seconds without feeling guilty becuase you just had a
'little slice'. :P

Well, that's one way to rationalize it. :-) I usually cut pies into 6
equal pieces, regardless of the size of the pie dish. Can you tell that
I'm a pie fanatic? :-)

Not only that, but it's seasonal! "On the twelfth day of Christmas, my

Wow, it's cosmic! Still, no pie will last 12 days around me,
not even if it is poetic.

Nope. Something divided into twelve = twelfths.

Trust me, I know this stuff. ;-)

But I get to have 1/12th of the pie every day for a whole week! If I
ate it all at once it would all be gone... (we had a bigger piece last
night though, AND icecream.)

The solution is pretty obvious--make another one!
