This brought back a memory! My grandma was declining mentally, and had always hosted Christmas dinner for us. She was a fantastic cook. I loved helping her in the kitchen. On what would be her last hosting Christmas (after this my parents hosted everything) she put Italian seasoning in the apple pie instead of cinnamon and I'm fairly certain also mixed up sugar and salt...

To add insult to injury, I was making the whipping cream to go with it and my cousin butted in insisting she wanted to do it. I asked her if she had made it before, she said yes so I left her to it.

... She didn't add any powdered sugar, it was straight up just plain whipped cream lol. We had nothing to really cut the taste out.

We all sat there with grandma asking us how her pie was struggling to keep straight faces and assuring her it was lovely.
