APPLE PIE or CRISP? by MARISSA




I got invited for dinner in Surrey two weeks ago and the main course, Pasta Amatriciana was a novelty  for me – quite good actually.  The host asked if I would like to have Apple Pie for dessert and she will make one if I can stay longer.  But I said, “Won’t it be too much work?”  Marissa assured me it was easy to do. 
It's really apple crisp, not pie, with Breyer's Vanilla ice cream


This pie came with a twist.  It has condensed milk – very non North American.  Marissa happens to be a Pilipina and condensed milk is a popular ingredient in a number of Philippine sweets.   And yes, the pie was easy and quick to make.  I think it is more of an Apple Crisp.
