Friends and pie lovers, it’s that wonderful time of year when food bloggers from all over the world celebrate the beauty of old-time pie by swapping recipes! And this year my pie came from S.S over at A Book of Cookrye, Ozark Pie! The timing was exceptional because I has been looking for a new show to watch and Ozark Pie was just the push I needed to start binging the Netlix show Ozark.

It’s always nerve wracking to see what pie you get.  There’s always a fear that it might be something utterly horrible.

But as with the last recipe I got from SS, this one was an absolutel belter.  So without any further preamble

Now, you may be wondering what is an Ozark Pie? Well for a start it’s not really a pie.  It’s a very thick batter mixed with apples and nuts.  I used walnuts but the recipe doesn’t specify so you can use what you like, or what you have.

I was going to start bitching here about weird measurements by the cup are for things like apples and walnuts but…

This was 2 small apples:Ozark Pie 2

Now let’s get back to that batter.  It was STIFF.  I could barely stir it, And trying to mix the apples and walnuts into it was hard work!!  But I eventually managed to get it somewhat mixed and into the pie dish.  The result was not pretty!

Up close it was even worse. It looked liked a plate of sick…

Ozark Pie 4

Hmm…yes, but how?    I put it in the oven and hoped that the magic alchemy is cooking would turn this toad into a prince.

But…about twenty minutes into the cook, something did start to happen. First there was a glorious smell of baked apples and sugar and….pie!!!!

And a few minutes later look what came out of the oven!

The batter was just the right level of sweet, the apples were juicy, the walnuts were toasty!!!!

We loved this pie! It was really delicious and very simple to make.

Shame not everyone felt the same way!

Have a great week friends, and remember…eat pie!

  2. I love your notes about how… delightful it looks while it’s in progress. I kind of expected the recipe to be one of those magic-gimmick ones where the pie crust somehow separates out and sinks to the bottom as it bakes. I guess it’s one of those “it’s a pie because it’s in a pie pan” kind of things instead?
    Anyway, I’m glad you liked it! You know, both times you’ve gotten a recipe from me, it was one I have been meaning to make but never worked up the nerve to risk it?

  4. Don’t you just love Ruth’s cheery facial expressions on Ozark? Your pie looks delicious – I can almost smell the apple goodness!

  5. FABULOUS – really like your pie/show mashup. I too have binged Ozark – I loved it. That pie looks and sounds REALLY GOOD and the apple trees in my communal garden are heaving with fruit right now. I think I might have a go at this one! By the way, I’ve been catching up on your blog posts – those sardine toasts YES! and the devilled egg pie YES! A couple of working from home treats right there for me! Love to you from London – Jenny xx
