We came straight from our wedding and they were able to accommodate a late check in. After only one night my wife and I came to the conclusion that if our entire stay were to have been at TPM we would have been more than happy. The B&B gave more of a “luxurious castle” vibe than your common stay. The facilities were beautiful and our only gripe was that we did not spend more nights there.

Stay Calm & Bake Pie with Twin Pine Manor B&B

Stay Calm & Bake Pie with Twin Pine Manor B&B

Apple Crumb Pie In 2005 I joined my mom in opening Grand Traverse Pie Company, a local franchise that sold about 100 pies per day. Of the 50 plus varieties of pies that we made my very favorite was good old apple pie. Who does not love apple pie? This recipe brings the classic apple pie to the next level with a buttery crumb topping. You can make it even more decadent with caramel sauce and salty toasted pecans.  I can smell the cinnamon and apples now! Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pie crust, if making from scratch.  Apple Pie Filling: 7 medium sliced apples, Granny Smith are the best for pie making1 tablespoon lemon juice1/3 cup all-purpose flour1/2 cup granulated sugar1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon½ tsp nutmeg1/8 teaspoon salt1 9-inch deep dish pie shell (store bought or your favorite recipe) Crumb Topping: 1/2 cup…
