To visionary Tony Goldman, the blank walls of warehouses in Wynwood weren't just blank walls—they were blank canvases. In 2009, he decided to take full advantage of the empty space by leading a charge in the artistic community for local residents. "Wynwood's largest stock of warehouse buildings, all with no windows, would me by giant canvases to bring to them the greatest street art ever seen in one place," he decided.

So with Tony at the helm, artists from around the area and the world started covering the walls with colorful graffiti and street art. Even after Goldman passed away, the movement continued to grow. The outdoor art gallery has attracted masters from Brazil to Belgium, Spain to Singapore, and Greece to Germany. Explore the winding streets of Wynwood Walls yourself to see the impact that one man's bright idea made on Miami.

New to baking? Keep these smart techniques in mind the next time you make an apple pie from scratch, and your dinner guests will be none the wiser!

1. Keep the crust ingredients cold. One of the most important things to do while mixing and rolling your pie crust is to keep all of the ingredients cold. Your crust will only become dense and flaky if the butter is kept in chunks rather than melting, creating layers between the flour and water mixture.
2. Use real butter. Dessert is not a time to worry about your diet. Make sure that you always use real, full-fat butter (instead of margarine or another butter alternative) to achieve the best results possible.
3. Use your hands. While kitchen stores boast a wide variety of tools for creating the perfect pie crust, the best thing to use is your hands. Knead the dough between your fingers to get it to the perfect consistency, and don’t forget to lick your fingers to make sure that it’s not too salty or too sweet.
4. Let the filling sit overnight. To get the best taste out of your apples, let them sit overnight with the rest of the ingredients to really draw out that lovely apple flavor.
