Speaking of American pie, you would have to pull a masterful stroke indeed to surpass or even equal the pie Maeve produced for the party at Sinsulls while I was visiting, I understand it was made from apples grown in Marys garden but it had everything I like in apple pie. It had a delightful pastry top the fruit was firm,not soggy, and tart, not too sweet with a wonderful subtle flaour of an apple variety I didnt recognise all in all a Masterpiece, for which I thank her.
