September 19th is the official Talk Like a Pirate Day. I created this pie today to test out its seaworthiness in advance. The kids are underage scallywags, so rum extract was used.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a unique apple pie for a fall treat. The mix of Gala apples and prunes creates a rich and fruity filling. It has a wonderful blend of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg spices. We liked the texture and flavor that the crumble topping adds. Drizzling a rum and powdered sugar glaze on top adds one last pop of sweetness. This simple pie makes us want to talk like a pirate EVERY day!
