Adam's First Apple Pie

Adam wanted to make an apple pie. When I asked him why, he just said because he'd never made one before, and was in the mood for one. I bought him the ingredients, gave him my Fannie Farmer cookbook, and let him "have at it". He didn't want instruction, nor help. He said if he messed up, then he could learn from it. He did everything right, except he stood the apples up in a pile instead of laying them flat, so it looked kind of weird before baking. The inside had a juicy, caramel-type of filling between the apples that was so good! When it cooled off a little, he topped it with vanilla ice cream.
