#BakeforACure - Upside Down Apple Pie - #SundaySupper Recipe
Besides the pink ribbon, there are other ways to raise
awareness of cancer. One of them is as
"easy as pie" - literally. Chantal would like to encourage
us all to Bake for a Cure!
It's difficult to write about this subject as many of you know. My mother suffered from Pancreatic Cancer and left us 14 years ago at the age of 68. Oddly enough, she did not die from this. The doctor said she was "one for the books!" She developed complications from a simple procedure, had several strokes and she was gone. My life has never been the same and there are days when I ache to see her and talk to her again. But my story is a story of hope. Pancreatic Cancer is usually always fatal - and she survived it.
We have the
opportunity to work with Chantal Cookware for this fun #SundaySupper
event. The newest product from Chantal
is their Easy as Pie-Dish.
This new pie dish simplifies the art of
pie baking and it is pretty enough to display in your kitchen.
Scalloped edges to help make the perfect crust!
Oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.

Baking is good for the soul, as anyone who loves to bake -
or loves to eat freshly baked cookies warm from the oven, can surely tell you.
All the baked goods we are making for this event will be
taken to a medical cancer treatment professional or someone who has been
affected by cancer. My Upside-down Apple
pie is going to my neighbor - but she doesn't know it yet! Just as baking is good for the soul, so is
giving. Count your blessings and bake a
pie!
This pie is everyone's favorite. It looks and tastes like a giant apple
cinnamon-sticky bun.
