Lavos Pie!

Happy Thanksgiving! And spoiler alert. Highlight to read the whole thing.

So my sister and I decided to make an apple pie, for Thanksgiving. Our recipe called for 4 pounds of apples, which seemed excessive, but I figured they would cook down. We had some adventures with the crust, which was the refrigerated rolled-up kind. I forgot to take it out to soften until I was already cutting up the apples, so I placed it on top of the pre-heating oven. Let's just say it was softened a tad too enthusiastically.....

I fixed it. Pizza style.

And we went about assembling and decorating our pie. I have some hedgehog shaped cookie cutters from Ikea, and we thought it would be cute to put hedgehogs on the pie. Unfortunately, the mound of apples was huge (the recipe said to pile them high in the middle, but it didn't specify how high) and the overly soft top crust stretched out quite a bit. I placed the cut out hedgehogs inside the hedgehog-shaped holes, but it ended up looking like Lavoses instead of hedgehogs.



After much hilarity, we decided that Lavos pie was awesome, and I even drew some fanart of it while it baked. It did cook down, but retained its Lavos-like appearance. We summoned Lavos just eat him. And by summoned, I mean baked. We used a scythe to cut up the apples.



Here is a picture of Magus eating Lavos pie. He is very thankful for it. And for cats.
