"Anyone Can Make It" Apple Pie

Please let it be known that updated versions of this pie will occur and be published in the future. This post will serve as the original thread, with additional recipes being linked to later on.

The pies I remember from childhood were goopy piles of sugary mess and I didn't care for the texture at all. Apple pie was included in this sentiment!

I've made this delicious and inexpensive soup a couple times now, using garden grown herbs and tomatoes. After my roma tomato harvest last year, I've been trying to come up with recipes for how to use up the rest of the frozen tomatoes I've had hanging around. I hope you like it! Ingredients 1 1/2 cup dry black beans, soaked for at least 4 hours, drained and rinsed 1 red pepper, diced 6 Roma tomatoes 2 carrots, peeled and diced 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 sprig of oregano, leaves finely minced 1/2 sprig of rosemary, leaves finely minced Mushrooms, any kind, about 1/2 cup, chopped small 2 1/2 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon salt Black pepper 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3 teaspoons powdered vegetable broth, or equivalent of your favorite Directions Add all of the ingredients to your instant pot or pressure cooker.
