John’s crabapple (we hope) pie

Our old, gnarly crabapple is going nuts this year. At least we think it’s a crabapple. It’s not like we planted it. We only bought the house last year.

John’s sure it’s a crabapple, it’s got little apples on it, right?

I’m a little more dubious, but they appear to likely be crabapples.

John was so sure that it is indeed a crabapple tree, that he decided to make crabapple pie. He picked a bunch of apples (we hope are apples).

He cut them up – which took awhile, they’re little things.

They’re tart! He added lots of sugar and a few other ingredients (like poison antidote in case it’s not crabapples?)

Made a pie crust from scratch.

He even glazed the pie crust. Wow, it looks so yummy!

Who’s brave enough to try a piece?

Tastes like rhubarb pie!
