yummy! My husband also loves apple pie, it was one of the first things I baked for him before we got married and he thought it tasted better than the store kind. Since you already have a recipe, I'm assuming it's the usual apple pie recipe. Crust made with flour, butter, and salt, and apple sauce made with apple slices, cinnamon, brown sugar and corn starch, right?





I think apple pie is just apple pie. But if you want it to look extra special, you can always weave the top crust of the pie, it'll look really nice! It may look a little tough at first but it's really easy. You should also consider serving the pie to your husband with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or whatever other flavour you both enjoy.





PS, Save me a piece!
Well ... you could add some raisins or dried cranberries for something different.





When tossing the apples in the spices and sugar you could sneak in a bit of alcohol if that's allowed ... like rum, or apple schnapps, or grand marnier - stuff like that would give it a bit of a kick. Also some grated orange zest would be good.





You might want to consider doing an apple pie with a crumb topping for something a little different ... like this:

    I make mini apple pies in ramekins with store-bought dough -- simple, quick and easy, not to mention delish. Here's the recipe http://buzz.prevention.com/community/juliet/mini-apple-pie-an-autumn-apple-treat


    Do you have a wonderful apple pie recipe?
    Pastry:


    2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour


    1 cup Crisco brand shortening*


    1 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt


    6 tablespoons ice water


    Filling:


    8 medium (4 pounds) tart green apples


    1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice


    1 1/4 cups granulated sugar


    1/4 cup all-purpose flour


    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


    1/4 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt


    2 tablespoons unsalted butter





    1 egg white, beaten lightly - optional


    1 teaspoon sugar for sprinkling (coarse sugar is nice) - optional


    Mix flour and salt in mixing bowl. Cut shortening into the flour with a pastry cutter, until mixture resembles the texture of tiny split peas. Do not use your hands to try and mix it, the heat from you hands will melt the shortening, causing the pastry to be ';heavy';, not light and flaky.


    When mixture is the right texture, add the ice water and combine with a fork. It may appear as if it needs more water, it does not. Quickly gather the dough into a ball.


    Divide dough into two balls and flatten each into 4-inch-wide disk. Wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.


    Remove one piece of dough from refrigerator. If stiff and very cold, let stand until dough is cool but malleable.


    Roll one dough disk on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. To transfer dough, carefully roll it around the rolling pin, lift and unroll dough, centering it in an ungreased 9-inch regular or deep-dish pie plate. (Or you can fold dough in quarters, then place dough point in center of pie pan and unfold dough, whatever is easiest for you.)


    Gently press dough into sides of pan, leaving portion that overhangs edge of pie pan in place. Refrigerate while preparing apple filling.


    Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 425*F (220*C).


    Peel, core, and cut apples into slices no larger than 1/2-inch thick. Gently toss the apple slices with the lemon juice.


    Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add sugar mixture to the apple slices and gently toss to coat well. Turn apple mixture into into chilled pie shell and mound slightly in center. Dot with butter.


    Roll out second dough disk and place over filling. Trim overhang to 1-inch from edge. Tuck this rim of dough underneath itself so that folded edge is flush with pan edge. Flute edging or press with fork tines to seal. Make several slits in top crust to allow steam to escape. If pie dough is very soft, place in freezer for 10 minutes. Brush egg white onto top of crust and sprinkle evenly with sugar, if desired.


    Bake until top crust is golden, about 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375*F (190*C); continue baking until juices bubble and crust is deep golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes longer.


    Transfer pie to wire rack; cool to almost room temperature, at least 4 hours.

    Deep-Dish Apple Pie


    4 lb. Granny Smith apples, peeled, quartered, cored


    1 lemon, zested


    1 orange, zested


    2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice


    1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed orange juice


    1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 tsp. to sprinkle on top


    1/4 cup all-purpose flour


    1 tsp. kosher salt


    3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon


    1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg


    1/8 tsp. ground allspice


    Doulbe pie crust


    1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp. water, for egg wash





    Preheat the oven to 400潞 F.


    Cut each apple quarter in thirds crosswise and combine in a bowl with the zests, juices, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.


    Roll out half the pie dough and drape it over a 9- or 10-inch pie pan to extend about 1/2-inch over the rim. Don't stretch the dough; if it's too small, just put it back on the board and re-roll it.


    Fill the pie with the apple mixture. Brush the edge of the bottom pie crust with the egg wash so the top crust will adhere. Top with the second crust and trim the edges to about 1-inch over the rim. Tuck the edge of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp the 2 together with your fingers or a fork. Brush the entire top crust with the egg wash, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar, and cut 4 or 5 slits.


    Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the crust is browned and the juices begin to bubble out. Serve warm.

    Crunch Top Apple Pie Recipe courtesy Paula Deen, 2007





    Paula's Perfect Pie Crust, recipe follows


    3/4 cup sugar


    1 tablespoon all-purpose flour


    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


    Dash salt


    3 1/2 cups peeled, chopped cooking apples


    1 (16-ounce) jar applesauce


    1 tablespoon lemon juice


    2 tablespoons butter, chopped into small pieces


    Crunch Topping:


    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


    1 tablespoon sugar


    Dash salt


    1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature








    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.


    Line a 9-inch pie pan with half of dough. Combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Stir in the apples, applesauce, and lemon juice. Spoon the apple mixture into pie pan and dot with butter. Cut remaining crust into strips; arrange in a lattice design over top of pie.





    For crunch topping:


    Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Using a fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over top of crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue to bake for about 45 minutes, or until crust and topping are golden brown.











    Paula's Perfect Pie Crust:


    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


    1/4 teaspoon fine salt


    3 tablespoons granulated white sugar


    1/4 cup vegetable shortening, cold


    12 tablespoons butter, (1 1/2 sticks) cold and cubed


    1/4 cup to 1⁄2 cup ice water


    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt and sugar. Add the shortening and break it up with your hands as you start to coat it all up with the flour. Add the cold butter cubes and work it into the flour with your hands or a pastry cutter. Work it quickly, so the


    butter doesn't get too soft, until the mixture is crumbly, like very coarse cornmeal. Add the ice water, a little at a time, until the mixture comes together forming a dough. Bring the dough together into a ball. When it comes together stop working it otherwise the dough will get over-worked and tough. Divide the dough in half and flatten it slightly to form a disk shape. Wrap each disk in plastic and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. On a floured surface roll each disk out into a 10 to 11-inch circle to make a 9-inch pie.Apple pie recipe?
    for the pie crust you are going to need the following:


    2 cups all-purpose flour


    1 teaspoon salt


    1 tablespoon sugar


    6 tablespoons butter


    6 tablespoons shortening


    6 to 8 tablespoons ice water


    1 Mixing Bowl


    Rolling pin


    Knife


    Measuring spoons


    Measuring Cups


    Dough Blender (in picture, I know, it sounds electric, but it isn't)


    Cutting Board


    9 inch Pie Pan (smaller is ok, but no bigger)


    Step 1: MAKING THE CRUST


    Warm the butter in the microwave until it is soft, but not melted. Mix in a large bowl the following; 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar. Then cut in using the dough blender, use 6 tablespoons butter, 6 tablespoons shortening, 6-8 tablespoons ice water. Then chill the dough for 20+ minutes in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic.





    For the filling you will need:


    5 Tart Peeled Apples


    1 Cup Sugar


    2 Tablespoons Flour


    1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon


    1/4 Teaspoon Salt


    1 Tablespoon Vinegar


    1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice





    Step 2: MAKING THE FILLING


    Peel and slice your apples, then soak them in water while you mix the filling. You will need:


    1 cup sugar


    2 tablespoons flour


    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


    1/4 teaspoon salt


    1 tablespoon vinegar


    Mix the filling, and once it is mixed, then mix in the apples.


    Step 3:


    Take out your dough and shape your pie, when you are done then put the apples into it, then cover it. You can either make wholes on the top of the pie, or make it using strips (this helps stop any overflowing), or you can just cover the whole thing.


    Step 4: Bakking the Pie


    Cut long strips of tinfoil and place them around the edges of the pie, this stops the crust's edge from burning while it bakes. You should take the tinfoil off about ten minutes before the pie is done so that it will have a golden brown edge. You should bake the pie at 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes.





    Good Luck, I hope you enjoy it.
    this is the easiest and best receipe i have ever had...


    crust:


    3 c flour


    1 c lard


    beat in 5 tbs water


    1 tsp vinegar


    1 egg


    separate into 3 balls


    filling:


    The best apples for a perfect pie are granny smith


    Peel apples, quarter them, take out cores, and slice them as paper thin as you can. If apples are dry, sprinkle with a little water. mix together 3/4 to 1 cup of sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg (what I do is put about 1 tsp of cinnamon and ½ tsp or a little more of nutmeg); Mix lightly through:


    4 sliced apples; Heap up in pastry-lined pan. Dot with:1 1/2 tbsp. butter ; Cover with top crust. Bake until crust is nicely browned and apples are cooked through. Serve warm or cold...may be topped with cream, whipped cream, or ice cream.


    Temperature: 425 degrees (hot oven)


    Time: Bake 50 min. check after 45 minutes…


    It makes a perfect pie every time...good luck

    Does anyone know a recipe for Apple Pie Cookies?

    I saw they have a Apple Pie Cookie Mix at Cracker Barrel, and was wanting to know if anyone had a recipe similar to that!Does anyone know a recipe for Apple Pie Cookies?
    You might what to check out Cooks.com....there's several versions that might be what you are looking for.Does anyone know a recipe for Apple Pie Cookies?
    they probably use their fabulous Fried Apples to make the cookies. I haven't been to Cracker Barrel since September, so don't know what is new for this Christmas season.





    My recipe for apple pie cookies has basic sugar cookie dough, rolled and cut in rounds with donut hole in half the rounds. Brush the edges of the base with milk, put a teaspoon of pie filling or fruit preserves on the center of that one and put the top piece on and use fork around edges to seal. Bake as for sugar cookies. Oh, yes, brush the tops of the cookies with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking.

    Does anyone know the answer as I would like to give as gifts, but not sure if they can be stored..





    Thanks much!!I have a recipe for apple pie in a jar-indicates refrigeration, then states can be stored for future use?
    Maybe the finished pie should be refrigerated, but apples that have been properly canned should be shelf-stable for approximately one year.I have a recipe for apple pie in a jar-indicates refrigeration, then states can be stored for future use?
    I think it probably means that you can keep the unopened product in a dark, cool cupboard for a longer term, but once the jar is opened it should be refrigerated and used within a shorter period. Hope this helps!
    Mabye you'd have to can them like you would Jelly or jam


    I know theres alot of steps to doing that right, so no jerms or air get inside.
