    Apple Love and My Favorite Apple Pie Recipe

    ByMary Crozier September 12, 2023September 12, 2023

    With apple season just around the corner, let’s talk about apples and my favorite apple pie recipe. After being raised on a wide variety of Connecticut apples, it’s hard not to be an apple snob.  But we do have a few varietals that grow well here in Arizona, depending on the USDA Hardiness Zone.  At…
