It’s Time to Bake Scrumptious Apple & Pear Pies
I’ve been baking since I was a teenager. I love to bake cakes for the holidays, birthday cakes, breads, bagels, babka, bread pudding, brownies, pies, and more.
My favorite season of the year is summer, but I love autumn because it’s pie baking season. This time of the year I enjoy baking apple pies and making homemade pie crust. The aroma of the pies and spices wafting in the kitchen and throughout the house is intoxicating.
Unfortunately, in the US conventional apples and pears are heavily sprayed with diphenylamine, a pesticide used to prevent black and brown patches from forming on the fruit.
However, I cannot have preservatives, additives, food coloring, steroids, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and insecticides because they injure my esophagus, and are the cause of my food impaction episodes and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
It’s been thirteen months since I created my own diet and eliminated these harmful chemicals, and healed my EoE. My eosinophil count went from 100 to “up to zero.” To maintain my healthy esophagus, my husband Jon and I make our own food. I do all the baking.
