To help my friend’s mother celebrate her 90th birthday tomorrow, my little Brooke and I threw together a homemade Upside Down Apple Pie from scratch… Darned if it doesn’t smell GOOOOD… Not bad for an old mechanic and a young lady, eh? Recipe courtesy of my good bud, Cathy Thomas (http://cathythomascooks.com/2012/06/28/july-4th-upside-down-treats-blueberries-plums-nectarines-and-apples/):
Now who knows how to keep little hands off the darn thing until tomorrow?

Well done! Hope the party is fun and we’re sure the pie will taste as good as it looks 😀
LOL… I didn’t even know you all commented! I guess my alert email link wasn’t working! Thank you!
Oh My, now I want some apple pie….that looks heavenly.

Can apple pie be mailed? Shoot. Probably not. You will just have to bake me one when I get to California…..
Sure!! でも絶対自転車に乗りません！ 🙂
Well they won’t deliver it by bicycle! 😉
Thank you for sharing this precious time.

yum!
So how did it taste?
That just looks very tasty! An old mechanic, eh? Did not know! I was a diesel/gas 4-stroke/2-stroke mech, H.E. & lite for a number of years – until I got tired of cussing the engineers and joined them to try to interject a little common sense into their designs.
Tell your daughter “Job well done!” – and if it tastes half as good as it looks, it must’ve been heaven!
Thank you, Jeffssong, I will tell her – better yet, I’ll let her read this. 🙂
As for taste… It didn’t seem to be all that popular. 😦
Aye – first try – try again. It takes time to learn to cook well. But a good cook always eats their mistakes, LOL! One of the benefits of learning. Better luck next time – and here’s an old hint from a cooking school: add more sugar and a pinch of salt – to everything! LOL! Bad for you – but makes everything taste better.
Good luck on your next try on Apple Pie – it still looks delicious!
Tell Brooke it looks absolutely delicious which I’m sure it was! Love the pictures of the pie progression. Big brother looks pretty proud of his sister! 🙂
Hi, Jeannerene! Thanks for the compliments! I will let her see this next time they are with me!
Beautiful children and that pie is a beauty! It looks like your little gal enjoys being in the kitchen and helping. Great job!
LOL… I didn’t even know you all commented! I guess my alert email link wasn’t working! Thank you!
Oh, that looks FABULOUS! I’d love to try that.
C’mon down! 🙂 Thanks for the compliment and for stopping by.
That is some good looking pie! Can I move in with you?
Are you female and good looking?
Koji, I LOVE this post! And I love your “photo essay”–terrific series of shots. The pie looks absolutely delish. Your children are so beautiful–you got some fabulous shots–it’s pure delight to see their joy. I really admire your multi-faceted interests, your playful spirit and great sense of humour. Your food posts are always so yummy looking. :))
