Apple Pear Pie with Pecans
A few months ago, My Life Runs On Food’s Facebook fans were asked to describe their favorite Fall recipe. Of course, it was Apple Pie.
“Ooohh! I remember going to the apple orchard with my grandmother! Picking the apples, watching them make fresh apple cider and then bringing home all those baskets of apples!

Gotta love the Fall!”
