With the hours ticking until Thanksgiving dinner, some of us may be on the run, looking for something to whip up to bring over to fill out the table.
If your relatives’ dessert table is in need of a little extra filling up, we popped into Suffolk County Culinary College in downtown Riverhead and got a quick how-to from baking instructor Richard Amster on bringing an apple pie to dinner this holiday season.
