As I sit here getting prepared for a freeze warning here in SC I get excited to realize Thanksgiving is just a short few weeks away. Even in these difficult times both economically and with all the horror on the world scene we can rejoice that God is still in control. Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord… we can rest in that. Nothing passes the eye of God unnoticed. All the evil we see will be dealt with by God Himself.

Now I have had the privilege of being introduced to an Organic Apple Orchard up in Hendersonville, NC. It is about a 2 hour drive for me. It is called The Twisted Apple and so far I have had their Crimson, Ambrosia, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and their true heritage apple the Arkansas Black. I love baking pie in the Fall and having a locally grown organic apple to bake with is JUST AMAZING! They can be found here on FB https://www.facebook.com/twistedapplellc/about Now I usually bake apple pie with the Granny Smith apple because it is firm and tart. But the Arkansas Black is a very good substituent. Read about its history here.https://arkansasgrown.org/arkansass-very-own-apple/

Now as you all know I bake with Einkorn pretty much exclusively so looking for an apple that will go great with my Pate Brisee pie crust recipe was the challenge. The Arkansas Black did not disappoint. So now that I have been blessed to be able to purchase 2 bushels of these wonderful apples I will be baking some yummy apple pies with both varieties. I have decided to share these lovely pies so if your local and want an awesome organic apple pie for your Thanksgiving dessert let me know. I will be selling from our cottage and we will have other holiday pies as well. Price prices will be $40 per pie. These are 100% organic apple pies made with 100% organic grass fed butter and 100% organic einkorn flour.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of all. Our nation has the privilege of taking an ENTIRE day to give Thanks. Now of course they have kicked God out of the day pretty much and the football god has taken over but we worship The One True God Jesus Christ and we Thank Him for all He has given to us this year. We will have the privilege of eating our own heritage raised turkey and we rejoice at all of God’s goodness and love.
