Apple Pie

I love apple pie
In the Old country, we have Aeblekage, which is the Danish version of 'something wonderful made with apples', only this is totally different.
And I make a great Tarte Tatin, if I say so myself. But be that as it may
I love American apple pie.
When I first toured with First Chamber Dance Company, we stopped at some out of the way diner in the middle of nowhere, and the waitress, when I asked for desert, said, as I understood her, that they had 'Apple Pie Alamo'.
I had visions of guns and scads of dying Mexicans and smoke and what-all, till I realized that she was telling me they had ' Apple Pie A La Mode' which I learned meant a great big dollop of ice cream on top of said apple pie.
I was sold.
No amount of whipped cream on the ' Aeblekage' will ever compare to the first taste of diner apple pie and runny ice cream.
I love apple pie.
