The apple pie smells

I Smell Apple Pie

By just mentioning the aroma of freshly baked apple pie some of you reading this will begin to salivate. Thoughts rekindled in your mind of the last time you smelled the combination of apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, baked into a crust that crunches slightly before melting in your mouth.

Maybe if you let your thoughts wander further you will think of the scoop of creamy vanilla & caramel ice cream or cup of coffee on the side… or the chill still on your cheeks from being outside, the memory of the environment around you when you last had a delicious slice. Maybe you will see your grandmother sitting on the other side of the table looking through her glasses, adjusting her hearing aid, happy to see everyone together.

If you weren’t thinking of these things before reading this, chances are pretty good that you are now.

By just mentioning simple moments that reach our senses, we access details otherwise forgotten. Whether a smell, a taste, something we feel, hear or see, we are continually receiving impulses, some create reactions, some go past us without us noticing. Listen to a song from your youth and it can take you back to a memory of when you first heard it, you can see the people around you, feel the vibe in the air, you can re-live the moment emotionally, laugh, cry, feel the butterflies in your belly from your first love. Reach the senses and you reach the person.

Marketing focused on connecting to the senses is nothing new, it’s been done on many levels since the beginning of advertising. Whether appealing to the emotional need of being rewarded for something by playing on fears of what could happen if you don’t do this or that (religion driven marketing dates back to 3000 BC), it has been part of our cultures since time began.

Create a vibe and sell to the senses and if possible to the emotion. This is nothing new, it’s Consumer Based Marketing 101… yet when we approach Enterprise Marketing, we reach for the spreadsheets, we talk demographics, we promote problems so we can push solutions into some form of box. We forget the people. We simply bombard them with branding, products, specifications, and if we get lucky there might even be some services thrown in to create more value.

Welcome to the world of present day product driven sales. The latest and greatest, new and improved, fastest, smallest, biggest, lightest, highest quality, longest lasting, most environmentally friendly “wow factor” ever created is now available. We send our consultants, sales or service engineers, but beforehand please fill out this online contact form and tell us when you are planning to buy and what your budget is. We write up our letters, we send the brochures, we set up a date to meet and turn things upside down to make sure our story (presentation) is just right.

Wow factor through the roof… then again, maybe not.

Imagine going on a first date, in advance you send a brochure illustrating how wonderful you are. That through your years of experience, that your research and fitness development has turned you into a high performance machine that is not only efficient, but agile as well. You can guarantee a best of class total cost of ownership (displayed in graph form with a arrow pointed upwards). To sweeten the pot you add a couple of wedding locations that support your “partner based mindset”. You send a letter accompanying your brochure, pleading the importance of open communication, how grateful you are for the opportunity. You suggest meeting face to face so you can present your vision of the future, the wonderful children you will undoubtedly create together. This may sound completely nuts, but look around you… this goes on every day of the week on the upper floors of company headquarters all over the world.

It’s all about branding, all about company promises, products and bla, bla, bla…

No, it’s all about apple pie, it’s about grandmothers and hearing aids, it’s a walk in the park, it’s a song that takes you to 1996 faster than a Tesla Model X reaches 100 kph… it’s about creating a dialogue and experience that is relevant in an environment that makes people feel like they matter on their terms.

Your company’s right of existence is in the stories of your customers, regardless of them being consumers, small & medium businesses, corporates or multi-nationals… an experience center should in my mind be about your customers. It should be a place where they feel comfortable telling their stories, not dog and pony shows shoving yesterday’s news down their throats.

Create an experience that resonates and customers will come.

Make good on the experience and they will never leave.

Слова, которые путают даже native speakers! GOOD или WELL?

Исключения

Здоровье и благосостояние

Говоря о чьем-то здоровье , обычно well употребляется вместо good:

• I asked him about his illness, and he said he was well – Я спросил его о его болезни, и он ответил, что здоров

Если вы скажете “ Be good! ” это означает, что вы просите кого-то вести себя хорошо. А “ Be well !” означает “ будь здоров , поправляйся”.

Best Ever Apple Pie Recipe

Apple Pie is a comforting dessert which is perfect to bake during fall season. Apple pie made using apples, sugar, raisins, butter and cinnamon. This apple pie is easy to make like my pineapple pie , strawberry lattice pie and pumpkin pie and taste so delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

About Apple Pie

Apple pie is an english dessert which comes from britain. It is made with apples, sugar, cinnamon and raisins. The filling is stuffed inside a shortcrust pastry and baked till golden. Apple pie makes a integral part in a dinner menu during thanksgiving, halloween and christmas family dinners.

This is a yummiest dish ever. This dish calls for shortcrust pastry. Try to use crunchy apple for this and you could also add some nutmeg in this. It gives a nice flavour. And also you could skip the normal sugar with brown sugar for lovely colour and sticky texture.

So hope you all give this a try and let me know what you think.

How to Make Apple Pie

• Preheat the oven to 180°C(350°F).
• Butter a pie plate generously and set it aside.
• Make the filling by mixing sliced apple,raisins,sugar,cinnamon,salt,cornflour and mix well.
• Remove the prepared dough out of fridge and cut into two equal portions.
• Take one of the dough and roll in between two sheets of plastic wrap.Line the pie plate with the sheet.
• Take the other sheet and roll exactly like the same.
• Fill the pie plate with the prepared filling and cover it with the other dough sheet.
• Fold the rim and using a fork pinch the sides of the rim.Take a knife and make slashes in the centre of the dough.
• Bake it in the oven for 30-40 min or till golden.
• Serve warm or chilled.

Apple Pie with Cooked Filling

In this recipe I have used raw apples which I have used as filling. Since the baking time is longer the apples will cook in that time.

But if you are baking for a lesser time, then you can cook your apple filling before hand. It is easy to make as well. I have shared the apple pie with cooked filling in the video.

• Heat butter in a pan.
• Add peeled sliced apples along with sugar, raisins, orange zest and orange juice.
• Once apple is cooked add some cornflour slurry and mix well till it thickens.
• Add cinnamon powder and any flavouring as you like.
• Don’t forget to add a pinch of salt.
• Cool this down and use this as filling.

Apple Pie Play Dough Activity

My kids were incredibly excited to get started. But first they had to sniff the play dough. They thought it smelled wonderful.

Since I have never made apple pie with my kids, I used this as a fun opportunity to show them some of the steps involved.

First, they rolled the pastry play dough with the rolling pin. Then they pressed itВ down into the pan and up the sides.

Next, they rolled balls of the red apple pie play dough and placed it on the pie crust. They did this as long as they wanted.

Then they rolled out the remaining pastry play dough and I showed them how to use the dough cutter to cut strips of dough and place them on top of the pie. This was my toddlers favorite part.

Don’t expect it to look like the first picture in my post. My son’s ended up looking like this. Haha.

Now they had an awesome play dough apple pie that smelled so good!

This was amazing for working on fine motor skills! All of the rolling, pressing, pinching and cutting are perfect for developing the small hand muscles.
