I've been watching you for maybe a couple weeks now.... And I just absolutely adore you! You are so sweet telling your stories of your loved ones like you do, really makes me feel the love you have for them and your whole way of living!! Kudos to you! And I look forward to watching many more of your videos!!
Be safe , stay healthy -
-Cheers!
@@kimikae4170 Thank you!!
Will do....thanks. Love your recipes.
My daughter is an archaeologist and is intrigued by your knowledge of Appalachia. She has watched many of your videos and told me about your channel. Now we're both watching and learning!
I'm so glad you both are enjoying our videos!!!
As I grow older, I cherish all the more the responsibility of being the keeper of their memories. Each time we share those stories and old ways, we assure the continuity of civilization.
A related tangent from my childhood: I remember my 2nd grade teacher unsuccessfully holding back her fit of laughter as I spelled out carefully, upon completing a unit on the Great Smoky Mountains, 'Appleatcha'. ;)
Thanks for sharing! 😀
Oh boy, I wasn't expecting to ball my eyes out by the end of this video. Both my grandma's and my mother were passed on by the time I was 30, within a 5 year span. I used to love to hear their stories, and it just made me sad because there is no one left but my dad to tell me stories and most of the time when I ask him something he says I don't know, I was too busy working. It really is so important to gather and share and pass down family stories and tales. I took for granted that my mom would always be there, and in the blink of an eye she was gone. I'm grateful I can remember some of them. I really enjoyed this video.
Jennifer-my heart goes out to you!! Thank you for watching -I'm glad you remember some of those stories!!
In the southwest part of Virginia, and northeast Tennessee, where they meet, every fall was apple butter time! I remember my aunt would dig out her bonnet, apples, giant copper kettle, paddle, and lots of wood. It was hard work, but worth it. One of my uncles made him some in his crockpot that tasted almost as good as my aunt made. The secret was the apples, they all used these ugly Summer Rambos. So many happy memories.
Tipper, that was great! When I was by your house today I saw the apple pie on the counter so I ate a little piece of it...It was wonderful! Anytime I come by I check the counter in the kitchen to see what you've been baking that I can nibble on!
Need to return to the times of Pap & Granny, they put meaning in life, it had balance & harmony! Most of all they kept the Human in Humanity! Thank you for the cooking and for the lovely memories......

I love that you always say you dont care about how pretty is as long as it tastes good. My children let a christmas apple pie mold one year because it was magazine perfect. I raised a house full of boys and 1 girl, they all have a rule, at mommas house the uglier the food the better it taste. I guess all the very specific recipes with tedious directions are never as good as food put together with a dash and a pinch of love. I always just make momaws pie now, never magazine recipes and theres never a bite left. I am still near-ish Appalachia but pretty far removed from my home in WV and your videos help with my homesickness, thank you very much.
Love this Tipper..I’ll be 63 and I remember my Great Grandmother drying apples on screens and helping her turn them..I thought that was So strange…did not grow up in that time..or that doing. But how I loved those dried apple 🍎 she kept in large jars in a dark pantry😊😃❤️
I can’t stop watching your channel, except when I go to the kitchen to try your recipes.
😊 thank you
My mother is from Barbourville Ky. and you remind me of her so much. I lost her on Thanksgiving last year, she loved her family and all of their stories. Listening to this video makes me wish I could call her and listen to her stories again.
Oh Kaeleigh-my heart goes out to you!! I'm so so sorry. I am glad that I remind you of her and your good memories!!
I know Barbourville and the 12 days of Christmas lights! Tipper is like my family too.
In North Wilkesboro NC, my town, we have a Apple festive every year, the first Saturday in October.
When they closed that track Nascar started it's slow death spiral..I made it to one of the last races at Rockingham but regretfully not North Wilkesboro..I'm in Pensacola,,home of the Snowball Derby..
My favorite festival, along with Mount Airy Autumn Leaves festival.
@@sherrydockery9933 yes love mount airy too
I also love family stories. They are so precious.
I think they're the best kind of stories 😀 Thank you for watching!
Love your stories. I wish i had ask questions too. sad that we don't realize how important that is, until it is too late
So true! Thank you for watching!!
Hello Mary Jo,
I just watched your cooking show for the first time. Watching you cook reminds me of how my mother, from Alabama cook.
I’m learning from watching you.
Thank you💕
We had a June apple tree in our garden. Mama would cook applesauce, double crust apple pie or fried pies. So good.
I always thought appalachia was a word that had a relationship to apples. Now you have confirmed it for me.....emotively anyway. Thank you Ms. Were you a teacher....because you are a great teacher....blessings to the family.
I need to try this when my honey crisp tree gives me more apples this year. You’re right they grow almost anywhere. Even here in freezing cold Minnesota.
It's a really good pie-and it only takes about 2 good size apples so I like that part too. Thanks for watching! 😀
I love watching your videos and hearing the stories you tell. I love watching you cook/bake and singing gospel songs. Jesus is definitely present. Hallelujah!!!
I'm so glad!
I love your sweet stories and memories. Both of my grandmothers lived to be almost 100 years old so I was able to ask them many details about my family. Precious!
That is so wonderful! You had them for a long time!!
Awe man, looks wonderful, ive never made this before, but im going to soon! Thank you, and hey, its not how it looks, but how it taste, thats my motto!
Good motto 😀 Hope you like the pie!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia I watch both your channel and Lori's at Whippoorwill Holler. Wonderful recipes and I feel like I am listening to my sisters. I could not print this apple pie recipe from the description box. I wll just watch it again and write it down. I am going to make it too.
@@KarenInTx I love Miss Lori and Mr Brown. I have made several of her recipes and she is such a lovely person. Mr Brown is wonderful too.
I follow Whipperwill Holler too besides Tipper. What a wonderful connection ❤
Where I grew up in N. California, lemons grew on my grandma's lemon tree all year round. We'd pick lemons and little green ones were growing right behind. I have my great grandma's 100 year old lemon pie recipe that uses flour instead of cornstarch and an orange as well. It's the best. We made the pie, lemon bars and gallons of lemonade. I guess you could say lemons were our fruit.
Yum that sounds so good!
I love the rich history of Appalachia, recipes passed down from family and teaching future generations the skills to keep those memories alive! 😊💖
Connie-me too!
I grew up in Boones Mill, VA and we had an Apple Festival EVERY Sept. The apple is sacred where I'm from. Wow what a fun memory and a delicious looking pie!!
I ask questions of the folks around here whenever I see them! I love old stories especially from this rich area. I wish I had time to sit and talk more to them. Thank you for sharing your stories!!
I loved the stories. :) They make me smile and it’s as if I’m listening to stories about my own family.
Here we are celebrating Appalachia with you & listening to your family stories !!!
I just love the stories about the people behind the recipes. Makes it that much more special, and tasty. Thanks for sharing.
I just love your videos, Tipper. All my huge family (Aunt's and Uncle's) have been dead for years. I am the eldest now, but no one close to tell my stories to. So many memories. I love this pie recipe. It only needs about two apples. Apples cost $1.00 each here in Oregon, despite the nearby apple farms. Food prices are crazy, and getting worse. If you have some recipes that are easy on the purse, please do share. Blessings...
When I listen to you it reminds me of gardening and we eat just like you. I am from Alabama.
What wonderful stories to listen to while getting a full birds eye view of your kitchen!
How nice to say that-thank you!!
I grew up in rural Michigan and now live in New York, so believe me when I say I love ALL things apple (apple cake, apple sauce, apple fritters...) but not apple pie. (I know: heresy.) Ms. Tipper, you and your Aunt Mary Jo may have just changed my mind. Thank you for all your wonderful videos!
What a wonderful story .Thank you for sharing this recipe too. It looks delicious ❤ Handed down family recipes are the best. Before my mother passed away , we got together and made chow chow. Her recipe was always a little bit of this and a little bit of that. So that day, we got a recipe written down.
I'm so glad you got that recipe written down-what a treasure!
The apple pie looks so delicious! We have always said fruit too...love june apples, have not had any in years , when I was a child, our neighbor had a couple of june apple trees and us kids use to eat them like candy , so good! Thanks tipper 🙏❤
Tipper I just love your stories..
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Thanks for the memories of your family! Yes, I love to hear and tell stories of my family as well. It put character and charm to the pictures.
Hey, my wife and I really enjoy your channel. We live in Kentucky but I was born and raised in Wytheville Va. A lot of the things that you talk about really ring home to me. I can recall my grandparents renting the cannery every year and the families would all come in and make apple butter. My sister still uses her recipe. I can also remember my grandpa burying apples in the ground to have for winter. Thanks for your channel and keeping the old lifestyles alive. God bless.
Tim-so glad you and your wife are enjoying our videos!!
Appalachian = appleland very interesting. Love your channel. God bless you and your family. Fruit of the earth.
I love your stories.
You are right about asking your grandparents questions about their life I wish I would have asked my grandparents those questions. because I would have loved to know more about our family history. They are all gone now.
I’ve never seen a Pie 🥧 like this before. Looks good 😊
My husband and I so love watching your videos and listening to your stories. We vacation in your area once a year and sometimes more now that we are retired. We hope to eventually find a tiny cottage or some land to add an RV or tiny house on. We live in eastern North Carolina near the beaches. Your kids would probably love it here. We go there to get away from the hot temperatures. We have both been going since there since we were children. Would love to sit and talk with you sometime we are up your way
We might go in March depending on the weather, but if not definitely by Our anniversary in early May. Thank you for all your good memories
You certainly live in God's Country!
I'm in eastern North Carolina as well. New Bern to be exact. I'm about 45 minutes away from Morehead City and Atlantic Beach.
@Johnna Buzby we are about 15 to 30 min from you in myear Trenton.

My grandfather had a green thumb growing any kind of fruit tree. He grafted trees and worked with honeybees as a hobby and probably survival. My best memory was a cherry tree so laden he had to prop limbs with clothesline poles. As young adults we used to take a day trip to Fancy Gap Virginia ti buy apples for family by the bushel. They had the old varieties our different families liked. I agree, nothing more interesting than old family stories.
Thank you Shirley! I remember seeing branches held up with poles too 😀
I just love these videos so much, thank you for posting.
I especially loved the stories from Aunt Mary Jo; Who knew a video about apples and an apple pie would bring a tear to my eye this way! ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Green fried mators and light green apples in the back yard. WE had the best . . Night crawlers in the world. I loved catching bait and goin fishin..
I love cold leftover fried apples or pears with breakfast. My grandmother would serve them that way.
I've had the hankering for some apple pie for a while now!! What kind of apples do you prefer I am a big Granny Smith fan but honeycrisp are my favorite they are just mighty proud of then as far as it cost goes. Thank you so very much for your dedication to the Appalachian lifestyle.. God bless you and yours and God bless the USA
Thank you Mike! I pretty much like all apples 🙂
Recently found your wonderful channel. I love watching your videos. I live in NJ and I’m Italian-American raised in The Bronx. I’m fascinated by the rich Appalachian culture and recipes. Thanks for sharing and educating me about this delicious slice of Americana. Our heritage has to be kept alive. It is slipping and sliding away quickly.
Welcome and thank you 😀
I have been binging your videos...you feel like home. We are from Sevier County, TN, but my hubby has been a Marine for almost 26 years, so we have been gone. He is retiring at the end of this month, and we can't wait to go home!!! I love your content so much! 💗💗💗
That makes my day! Thank you Elizabeth 🙂 I'm so glad you're getting to go home-what a wonderful thing!
I love all your stories about your family and friends
Great video, every time I watch your channel it reminds me of the most important things in life....family & simplicity = happiness.
You are so kind!!
Love this! Every time I watch one of your videos I end up watching four more.
Glad you like them!
I just love your channel. I've taught my husbands family about the history of the place they've lived in all their lives and didn't know.
Wow-thank you 😀
I remember. Apples as just fruit!!! I am 69 years old such 💞 precious memories. Of eating apple butter. Y taking apple butter sandwich's for our school lunch
@Celebrating Appalachia I’ve recently found your videos, and I’m just hooked. I love your stories and your way of life - and I try to imagine what it would be like. When I was younger, many years ago, I used to go camping and hiking along the Shenandoah, the Blue Ridge Mountains and all along the Appalachian Trail - good memories. Now, much older, I live on the east coast, on Long Island, NY. If I had to choose mountains or coast, I always say I can’t imagine not living near an ocean. I have to say, though, you make mountain life look wonderful.
So glad you're enjoying our videos!! I'm glad you've got those good memories 🙂
When you say"depending on your oven" I don't think it's the oven but your altitude (how high above sea level) is what makes the difference. I was born & raised in the rocky mountains when I moved to Texas none of my Momma or Granny's recipes worked took me 10 yrs to figure it out 😆
you bring a lot of joy to this world thankyou
Love how easy this recipe is and looking forward to trying it! Thanks for sharing. The personal stories also are heartwarming to hear since they make the recipes more memorable.
I'm from UK. I love your videos. My mum used to bake every Sunday. She used lard and butter to make pastry. It makes it really crisp. X
I've never seen an apple pie made that way, but I'm definitely going to try this! Thank you for sharing ❤️
I go to a Church called “Bethel Baptist “ here in Indiana.
Beautiful Story.
Lovely kitchen! Thank you for allowing us in your home.
PS: Love how you link practice to history, culture, and English language. Now, whenever I hear the word "fruit" I'll have a thought for Appalachia :-)
Thank you! I love what you said about the word fruit 😀
Those were good stories. My grandparents on both sides had apple trees. My granny Fields would make a stack cake when we came to visit, I always thought she made them for me because I thought they were the best cakes in the universe! And she liked it when somebody liked her cooking.
Also her apple tree by the house would drop apples on the tin roof, and there wasn't any insulation in the house, so once the apple fell, it made several banging bounces on its way down and kept me from sleeping all night.
My Grandpa Holbrook had an apple tree that had so many apples he was afraid it was going to bust to pieces, so he had about 20 props holding the branches off the ground. Those apples were really good too.
Mark-I've seen trees with poles holding them up too! Thank you for watching and for sharing!
It is fascinating how some foods are so common all over the USA. So long as apples grow, you will have stories of preserving them for the winter. My Grandparents did the same in MN as yours in Appalachia. My Grandparents of course did not have June apples our growing season is far too short for that.
Enjoyed this video! We love apples 🍎 anyway we can get em. Loved the two stories at the end. We love and miss those gone on before us. I to have family that I wish I had gotten to know more about. Thanks GOD Bless Y’all. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇🍎🍎
Always so wonderful. Glad I check back often.
Thank you!!
This is a great idea.. We have mostly Macintosh apples that taste great but that give off so much juice that they make the pie too wet. I think that cooking them first like you are doing here will get them to render their juice and then I can pour off the excess before putting the apples in the crust. I never would have thought of that in a million years.
Not silly atall!! Beautiful memories!
Thank you for sharing, I love these memories and stories and yummy foods... Thank you also for inviting us back, you are even making life today meaningful and taking us back to a simpler time, not that it is not hard work, but simple as far as not the chaos that we are having today in 2021. Much love and hugs and God bless you and yours. In Christ, Melissa Faith Liberty, KY
Those apples are beautiful
Tipper, you are such a sweet person. I love your stories about your family. I am going to try Aunt Mary Jo's apple pie. It sounds so good!❤🙏❤
I've gotta try this. If I lived close I'd be eating at your house everyday lol these old recipes are more like the kind of food my grandma cooked.
Beautiful story!
Grew up with a Corland apple tree in the yard. My mom made great pies. She would make them for neighbors too. Apple butter, my favorite. Lots of folks had the basement entrance from the outside. Often, they would store a basket of apples on the steps leading in. It was cold but not freezing. Apples would last almost through the winter, certainly to Christmas.
I love your Aunt Mary Jo's pie so much! It reminds me of an apple chess pie. Thanks for the crust shout -out but yours looks beautiful. Here's to shared pie in the near future.
Thank you! But you are the QUEEN of pie crust 😀
My folks had an orchard in WA state and apples took a large portion of the 16 acres we had. I remember making applesauce, applebutter with my Mom. We'd peel, slice and freeze apples for pies. My folks had a custom cider press made. They bottled the cider in brand new plastic milk jugs they'd ordered and stored the jugs the freezer unit of an old milk deliery truck!
Apples are huge for us in Maine as well! They are very important and we have perfect conditions to grow apples we tend to buy or pick many bushels and winter them. I think I have a thousand things I can do with apples! :-)
Thank you so much for your channel, I live not too far from you but I’m not here all that long and traditions are something I love to learn! I do know how important apples are here and have even taken art classes at Campbell folk school!
The pie looks so nice and simple, I’ll give it a try🥰
It's a small world! Thank you for watching and I hope you like the pie 😀
I buy a lot of apples and usually have an apple at night a few days a week it’s always been a favorite of mine I love them all kinds especially red ones with a bit of pink sweet and crunchy - apple pie is one of my favorite pies.
What a great video 😀 I, think I will try to bake that great apple 🍎 pie for Easter.
This video is fantastic 😀. My great,great aunt called strange people fruit,'s. God rest her soul,she was a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing this recipe. God bless you and your whole family. 😀
My Maw Maw made awesome apple jelly from apple trees in her yard. I'm from West Virginia, where golden delicious apples come from. We have a lot of great apples here, too.
You are so lucky and to be living where you grew up.
Thanks Miss Tipper - I love your show but it makes me hungry 😂
😀 Sorry for the hunger pains but thank you for watching!!
sure looks good , my beloved wife was a great cook and a wonderful hand to bake , she was always coming up with some kind of goodie. she created a resipe she called apple round and it was so good.
I love your video's. Because you share a part of your life ..... That's. Beautiful thank you
Thank you so much!
Quick and easy...Think I'll try that pie with blueberries😋...Thank you
I’m learning so much! Thank you for making these educational videos.
Glad you like them!
I made this pie today. I didn't have any apples so I use blueberry's I canned from last year. I also ate it with ice cream and it was delicious. I bet you this pie would also be good using pears, which I'm also going to try . Thank you for sharing the recipe. By the way, my pie crust wasn't pretty either, but it was tender and that's what counts.
Wonderful!
Loved this video.its so real.thank you Tipper💗💗💗
I live in a part of the country next to a Great Lake that is famous for growing apples. During Colonial times apples were used primarily for making hard cider and not much else. They weren't sweet like today. As a boy, my grandmother would send me to a yellow apple tree next to a field out behind the barn to bring back apples that she would bake with a sweet or "hard" sauce, usually in late summer or early fall. I don't know what variety it was. It could have been wild. There was another yellow apple tree in a hedgerow not far from a neighbors orchard and I would always grab an apple when combining oats. It tasted almost like a pear. It was too far to walk to go pick them. What I really liked were my grandmother's apple dumplings covered with her "hard" sauce. It was distinctive tasting and very sweet and usually poured on warm. I wish I had her recipe. When I got old enough to hunt, those trees were magnets for squirrels, grouse, and pheasants in the fall.
I will have to try this up here we usually put all our ingredients directly in the pie shell and I've never used an egg so it looks interesting to me.
Beauty is skin deep!! The taste is what counts. Although, it looks delicious. Thanks for sharing. I certainly enjoy your videos.

My wife made pralines from your video and I was amazed at how good they were. It reminded me of when I was young and my grandmother made divinity. I want an apple pie now.
😀
A girlfriend I had once always asked her momma to make divinity around thanksgiving and Christmas, I tried it but it just wasn't something I liked.
She used to make poke salad and it made me sick, and her momma boiled it off three or four times and made sure it didn't have any stem's in it and we all sat down together in the kitchen and it had egg's in it and onions and she had bacon on the side. Looked pretty good and tasted ok it just wrecked my system! I'll be sure and avoid that if it's ever offered again 😜
@@rowdybroomstick1216 I didn't grow up eating poke because Pap didn't care for it 😀Lots of people around here do eat it every spring.
My grandpaw had an apple tree he called early harvest they came in perty early. He had another one he called banana apple I would be curious if you ever herd of them. They called apples fruit too. I'm really enjoying your videos!
Lloyd-John C. Campbell Folk School has an orchard with Early Harvest apples in it. I've never heard of the banana apple but it sounds great!
Lloyd - I’ve had banana apples. There used to be an orchard here in Michigan that sold heirloom apple varieties, and banana apples was one of them. It was a large, yellow apple: sweet, with a faint banana flavor. They were pretty good, but not as good as a Jonathan.
Love your channel so much! I grew up around cowboy stories growing up and seems to me you have the gift of a storyteller. They are factual and that is so wonderful!
Wow, thank you!
I don't get enough time to watch complete videos in this my life full of chaos but i make sure yer video is 👍 whenever i see one. Will get some time to watch from the 1st to the recent one. Loves ❤️🤟
So glad you enjoy our videos 😀
I love this. I had fried apples at grannies and moms now. Just yesterday
I have to tell you how much I have enjoyed your videos. I only found you a couple weeks ago, but have been trying to watch at least one video every day or so. The memories of your family makes me long to see my family that have passed on. Your Aunt's stories of your grandma Marie brought tears when I was thinking what a blessing she was to her family. What more can we ask for than to be a positive influence & memory to the children in our life? What is the blind pig & acorn you mentioned? Is it a book you have written? If so, where can I buy a copy? Thank you so much for taking the time to record & show all these wonderful videos.
Never mind my stupid question! I see the link you provided. Thank you!!
So glad you enjoy our videos and hope you enjoy Blind Pig and The Acorn too 😀
Beautiful pie! 😊
