Geneva! Just remembered we didn’t reply to your queries! A quarter cup isn’t much, but liquid should escape from the apples as they cook - but if you’re worried, or if it looks a little dry add some extra water - I think the apples should take about 15 minutes to cook.

Just checking…is it only 1/4C that you use to cook the apples in?? For me it seemed like that wasn’t enough for 1kg of apples…do you have an estimated time it would take for them to get to the right consistency. Thanks! Geneva

Yummo! I wish you were in Tassie right now Ms Ash so we could eat apple pie and rave about Ms Krien’s book.

I love Cygnet, I love that the bay is actually full of black swans, and that there’s a shop manned by an old lady full of strange underwear and wool that’s so packed to the ceiling last time I went in there it was like wool was falling from the sky, and the new bakery that makes amazing pies (even wallaby) and the bakers sit in the sun out the front smoking and laughing their big Bavarian laughs. But these are thoughts for another post!

PS. My mum found that tablecloth in an op-shop in far north QLD - score.

well, I don’t think Cygnet is the best spot in Tassie to go to. I live in Hobart, and even then, we don’t always here about the logging. The newspaper (The Mercury) doesn’t have huge articles about it, or anything like that.
On the other hand, This pie looks lovely! And also, your table cloth is very cute…

Ooh! This is a controversial post! I cannot wait to read Anna’s book, I only just learned of them keeping tracts of trees by the roadside, so it appears that no logging is happening.
BUT I urge anyone and everyone to get down to Tasmania. It is a beautiful state, with amazing landscapes and countryside. And there are many many many nature lovers down there - and people are real nice!

PS. PIE!

This pie looks amazing - I’ll definitely give it a try.

Very sad story about Tasmania, though. I’ll keep an eye out for the book.
