One of my favorite recipes comes from a kitchen accident! The wife of the former Dean at a school in Pennsylvania could never make her pie crust come out right, so she sprinkled cinnamon sugar in the bottom of a buttered pie pan, tore the pie crust into bits (into the pan, with more cinnamon sugar), then layered the apple filling over the top, and baked. When done, she inverted it onto her serving dish, topped with brandy, and lit it on fire! Apple Pie Biddy (Her first name was Biddy). As she always said, if it comes out wrong, turn it upside down, call it something French, and serve with flair! I love her spirit! As my husband (former carpenter) always said, "Turn a mistake into a feature." Go, Biddy! Elisabeth @ KAF
