Flaky crust, cinnamon-dusted kitchen, and the urge to eat an entire apple pie in one sitting. Isn't that the definition of fall?

What screams fall more than the smell of pie? Pumpkin, blueberry, cranberry… You name it. Pies symbolize fall, so now that we are more than excited that the season has finally arrived, I decided to honor those dishes with a delicious collection of apple pie memes. Because, yes, believe it or not, I found some very funny and somehow very relatable apple pie memes for us to enjoy next to our slice of fresh pie.

In my personal experience, nothing brings home more than the smell of apple pie. I love all things apple, but apple pie has a special place in my heart. My dad's side of the family has the best apple pie recipe I've ever tasted, and after my mother married my dad, she decided to learn it. Over time, she mastered it, and now even my dad's mom asks her to make it for special occasions. Crazy right? But besides birthdays and events, she bakes it at the start of every fall. In fact, we baked it together last weekend, and I learned a lot.

Baking with family can be the best experience ever… if you're a kid. But when two grown adults go to the kitchen together, nothing good comes out of it. I really wanted to learn how to bake the perfect apple pie, so I asked her if she wanted my help. She said no, but when I insisted and showed her I really wanted to learn, she had to accept… In the end, she was once in the kitchen with her mother-in-law, right? Well… at first, everything was going fine. She told me her secrets and tips, yet I wasn't really doing anything, just watching. I was about to say something, but I understood it was her moment, too. My mom isn't really a cook, but baking that pie is very therapeutic, and she wanted a bit of peace and quiet. After I realized that, I watched her create that beautiful apple pie, and then we enjoyed it together.

Honestly, I don't think I'll ever learn to bake it the way she does, but there's something so comforting about the smell of my mom's apple pie. It's not just the smell of fall and the start of cold weather; it's the smell of home. And isn't that what fall and winter are all about? The weather is cold, and we have to stay home more often, so having scents that invite you in and make you want to spend more time with your family is great, and they are here for that. So maybe don't bake with your mother because things won't turn out the way you planned; instead, make her some tea while she's preparing the pie, and the moment will still feel just as special.
