Happy Birthday!!! to FizzyThoughts Jill and to my wonderful husband Dj! AND TRISHA‘s, too!!!! It’s a celebration. (actually, the hub’s is tomorrow…)
Bourbon Apple Pie
Recipe adapted from page 223, Liz Reiter’s All-Granny Slug-O-Bourbon Spiced Apple Pie, of this book: 
Author: Ken Haedrich. I actually added a Golden Delicious apple and a spare pear because I didn’t think I had enough filling. I made this two years ago at this same time. It’s hub’s favorite.
Last year, I wrote Jill a poem for her birthday and probably because April is National Poetry Month.
I had to google for quotes about ‘birthday pie’; allow me to share:
A new novel called Birthday Pie by Arthur Wooten is out this year 
and funny enough, the word ‘bourbon’ is on the cover… I’m putting it on my to-be-read list despite the fact that the only rating, a 5 star, is from the author.
and this from comedian Jim Gaffigan:
“Pie can’t compete with cake. Put candles in a cake, it’s a birthday cake. Put candles in a pie, and somebody’s drunk in the kitchen.”
.

Happy birthday to the both of them and OH MAN that pie looks good…
I thnk it looks great. I think it will be yummy.
My dad loves, loves pie and would happily suffer the drunken fool who wants to put candles in his birthday pie!
I love your Dad.
LOL I love that quote! Happy birthday to Jill and your hubby!
Just so you know, I promise to not be a drunken fool on any upcoming vacation.
I was reading menus, last night, and I found a pie I thought sounded right up your alley. You don’t have to get drunk to do the eating. LOL
What?! something strange, something odd? nifty. Can’t wait to hear about it.
Thank you!!!! For the birthday wishes and the pie.
And happy birthday to Mr. Care.
I showed him this comment. he was like, “Huh? Who is this?”. (He don’t get this bloggin’ thing.)
You are so awesome! Thanks so much.
You are most welcome.
Mmmmm, pie. Not sure about Bourbon Apple but Bourbon Pecan? I’ll definitely be trying that this Thanksgiving.
This sounds freaking delicious!
The pie looks YUMMY!
Yum! That looks delicious.
I was at a used bookstore this weekend and found a copy of Flower Confidential by Amy Stewart — nonfiction about the flower business. I grabbed it because of your flower post awhile ago. I hope it’s good!
I think birthday pie is an excellent idea. It is a little easier if it’s a one-crust pie, but who cares? My husband’s birthday is in a couple of weeks, I may have to make this recipe. Sounds amazing.
What a pleasant surprise to see you mentioning Birthday Pie! People are just now leaving reviews on Goodreads other than myself. Delicious! lol Enjoy! Arthur Wooten
