100 Apple pies

For the last 23 years on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, our sculptor friend, Don Rich, has gathered a few folk and 600 apples at his foundry in Oakland. He fires up the ovens in the morning and we peel, core, mix, bake and laugh. The pies are given to neighbors, friends, firemen, policemen - and if you bring the glass Pyrex pan back, you're on the list for next year.
Here's his secret: cut the apples with a fork (makes little "flavor ridges)." His philosophy "Never move a pie when it's still hot." Good advice not only for pies.
