National Pie Day!

Today is National Pie Day.  I couldn't let this day pass without baking a pie. I tried a new recipe, Warm Apple-Buttermilk Custard Pie! Doesn't that sound good? Here is the recipe!

1/2 cup butter or margarine, divided

2 Granny smith apples, peeled and sliced

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
