Road Trip Through Apple-atcha: Homemade Apple Pies, Apple Cider & More

West Virginia Public Broadcasting's Inside Appalachia interviews Emily on apple pie for their "Apple-atcha" episode... 

"Apples are for more than just cider, and some say that there is nothing more American than apple pie. So we talked to Emily Hilliard, the state folklorist of West Virginia and author of the pie blog Nothing in the House, about what goes into making a traditional apple pie, as well as a fig and goat cheese tart. Emily's pie crust was also featured in a new cookbook called Victuals: An Appalachian Journey with Recipes."
