Apple Pie

Okay, I've tried pastries like sardine rolls, curry puffs & choux pastries so now to Pies! Who dont love pies but making pies seems like a hastle. You have to make the crust, let it rest in fridge and prepare filling, etc. So I thought I give it a trylah...(^.^)

I found this quite easy recipe but had a disaster on making the crust. With some 'patchwork' I manage to come out with one pie..My 1st pie He..he..
