Apple and Pear Pie

By | | , , , , , , ,

I love apple pie, always have.  When we started the RPAH Elimination Diet apple pie become pear pie – which was also pretty good.  So now we combine both and have delicious apple and pear pie, sometimes with just a little bit of cinnamon (high salicylates).

    I have been looking for Golden Delicious apples for 3 years + now and still have not been able to find them in Malaysia. Do they go by another name?
