Homes are more than just houses; they’re where memories are made. My aunt & uncle’s lakeside home hosted countless family gatherings, holidays, my wedding brunch, life celebrations, and moments of love over the years. As they closed this chapter, I’m deeply grateful to for representing them with such grace and dedication, making sure they were taken care of every step of the way.

Thank you again, Mary Pat, for facilitating the sale of their home with the care it deserved.

🥧✨ Vermont Apple Pie ✨🍎

With Thanksgiving around the corner, and pumpkin pie being my least favorite pie 😳 I thought I’d share an old Vermont family favorite recipe.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:
Use your favorite recipe or if you want your grandmother to roll in her grave you can speed up the process by buying premade 🤫

- 2 1/4 lbs Macintosh Apples (I always put aside a bunch from apple picking at the beloved ), peeled, cored (approx. 6-7 apples, 7 cups thinly sliced)
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 8 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg + 1 Tbsp water (for egg wash)

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 425˚F.
2. Melt 8 Tbsp butter in a saucepan, whisk in 3 Tbsp flour, simmer for 1 min. Add 1/4 cup water, 3/4 cup sugar, bring to boil, simmer for 3 mins.
3. Peel, core, and slice apples. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Pour sauce over apples, stir to coat.
4. Roll out bottom crust, transfer to pie plate. Add apple mixture.
5. Roll out top crust, cut into 10 strips. Arrange in lattice pattern (I like to use any excess pie crust & cut out flower shapes to garnish the lattice) Brush with egg wash.
6. Bake at 425˚F for 15 mins, then reduce to 350˚F for 45 mins or until bubbly. Rest before serving.

** à la mode is not an option, it’s a requirement 😉 Sticking to Vermont roots, I always use Wilcox Dairy vanilla.
