What’s a Labor Day Celebration without a freshly baked apple pie? While the weather doesn’t look like it will cooperate for apple picking this weekend, there are still plenty of homegrown apples available in the Country Store. This recipe came from the new Eckert Family Fall Cookbook (available end of September!) – it is one of the Eckert Family’s Favorite Recipes – Enjoy it with your family too!

From Our KitchenThe Eckert Family “secret” to the best tasting apple pie is to use a ratio of 4 Jonathan apples for every Golden Delicious apple.
