Abe Lincoln's Apple Pie (follow-up)

So this is a bit of a follow-up to the below posting about spotting Abe Lincoln in a pie crust while about to make a pumpkin pie.

We decided not to use the crust right then (though we did make the pumpkin pie with another (you, know, they come in twos)). After receiving numerous responses, and emails (thanks Arrow!!), about the sighting, I learned that Abe Lincoln's favorite pie was an Apple Pie. Apparently, Honest Abe's favorite dinner was cheese and crackers.

Anyway, learning this info, H decided to send our Abe phantasm to culinary heaven by baking him into an Apple Pie. As you can see from the photo above, he was still there, waiting...

Not only did she bake him into the pie, but she used him for the top crust! You know he was loving it.


We put vanilla ice cream on our slices. Really tasty. Used a simple (yet yummy) recipe from River Road Recipes, a Southern classic.

Abe Lincoln spotted in pie crust

This weekend, I was prepping a pumpkin pie, and when I looked down at the pre-made, frozen crust, I spotted Abe Lincoln. See the below photo. I dont know if this is some magic mojo moving up to the election this week, but it was quite amazing to say the least. After showing the photo to numerous folks that evening, we also realized there was a man whispering in Abe's ear.

I hope to follow up with another seasonal soup recipe soon, a pumpkin soup I have been trying to perfect this fall. A fusion of a Mexican soup with a Cajun one. Really good, more to come on that...
