And just like that, it’s the last recipe for Trois Fois par Jour’s week-long 5-year celebration. I’ve come up with a Snow-White apple pie recipe because I don’t want to wait for fall to start baking some apples. They are just as delicious in the spring. : ) This pie can be enjoyed either cold or warm…with ice cream or whip cream.
