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:

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Flatten each half into a disk, wrap in saran wrap and chill for at least half an hour.


    Roll out one of the disks on a lightly floured surface until you have a circle that's about 12 inches in diameter.


    Put the circle in a 9'; pie plate, trimming any extra dough from the edges with a sharp knife (parents only). Return it to the refrigerator until you are ready to make the pie.


    Add filling (see below)


    Roll out the second ball of dough and cover top. Use a fork or your fingers to pinch the edges together. cut a couple slits in the top.





    FILLING


    1/3 to 2/3 cup sugar


    1/4 cup all-purpose flour


    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg


    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


    Pinch of salt


    8 medium sized apples (a medium apple = about 1 cup)


    2 tablespoons margarine





    Heat oven to 425 degrees.


    Peel, core and slice the apples. Try to keep the size of the slices even.


    Mix sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl.


    Stir in apples.


    Pour into pastry-lined pie plate.


    Dot with margarine.


    Cover with top crust and seal the edges. Cut slits in the top.


    OPTIONAL: Cover edge with 3-inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent too much browning. Remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.





    Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust.








    Apple season means apple pies, and my favorite are those apple pies packed with apples, not overly sweet, and with a buttery crust. The problem with baking thick apple pies is that the apples shrink as they cook, leaving a gap between the crust and the apples, which usually collapses upon cooling. The trick is to gently cook the apples first, so that they do their reducing before they go in the pie. I settled on this recipe after trying several; it draws its crust from a mile-high apple pie recipe in Oprah Magazine and its method adapted from a method for deep-dish apple pie in Cooks Illustrated.





    Crust


    2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling


    1/2 cup finely ground blanched almonds or almond flour


    16 Tbsp (2 sticks) unsalted butter, very-cold, cut into 1/2 inch cubes


    1 teaspoon salt


    1 heaping teaspoon brown sugar


    3 to 6 Tbsp nonfat milk, very cold





    1 Tbsp heavy cream


    1 large egg yolk





    Filling


    1/2 cup sugar (white granulated)


    1/4 cup packed light brown sugar


    1/4 teaspoon salt


    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger


    5 lbs of mixed apples (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Pippin, Braeburn, Cortland, McIntosh - see this guide to apple varieties), peeled and cut into 1/4 inch slices


    1 Tbsp of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of grated lemon zest


    2 Tbsp unsalted butter





    Start with the crust:


    1 In a food processor, combine flour, almonds, salt and brown sugar, pulse to mix. Add butter and pulse 6 to 8 times, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk 1 Tablespoon at a time, pulsing until mixture solidifies into a ball. Remove dough from machine and shape into 2 discs. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.





    While the dough is cooling, start cook the apples:


    2 Mix 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar, salt, ground ginger, and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. Add the apples and lemon zest and toss to combine. Transfer apples to a large, thick-bottomed covered pan or Dutch oven and cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring frequently, until apples are just tender when poked with a fork, but still hold their shape - about 15 to 20 minutes (but not so long for the apples to turn into applesauce, put apples in a colander over a bowl to drain excess liquid. Drain off as much juice as possible.





    3 Preheat oven to 425掳F with a baking sheet on a rack on the lowest rung of the oven.





    Back to the crust:


    4 While the apples are cooling and draining, remove one crust disk from the refrigerator. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle some flour on top of the disk. Roll out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to a 12 inch circle; about 1/8 of an inch thick. As you roll out the dough, use a metal spatula to check if the dough is sticking to the surface below. Add a few sprinkles of flour if necessary to keep the dough from sticking. Gently fold in half. Place on to a 9-inch pie plate, lining up the fold with the center of the pan. Gently unfold and press down to line the pie dish with the dough.





    Add the filling to the pie:


    5 Add the apple filling to the dough-lined pie pan. Sprink on 1 Tbsp of lemon juice. Dot with butter.





    Finishing:


    6 Roll out second disk of dough, as before. Gently turn over onto the top of the apples in the pie. Pinch top and bottom of dough rounds firmly together. Trim excess dough with kitchen shears, leaving a 3/4 inch overhang. Fold dough under itself so that the edge of the fold is flush with the edge of the pan. Flute edges using thumb and forefinger or press with a fork. Score the top of the pie with four 2-inch long cuts, so that steam from the cooking pie can escape. Beat egg yolk with cream and brush on the surface of the pie with a pastry brush.





    Cooking:


    7 Set pie on preheated baking sheet (to catch any juices that may escape from the pie while cooking). Bake at 425掳F for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 375掳F and cook for an additional 50 minutes, until filling bubbles in the center and crust turns golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 1/2 hours. Cut into wedges and serve with vanilla icecream.





    Serves 6 to 8.

    What is a really wonderful old-fashioned recipe for apple pie?

    my mother God bless her heart was a wonderful cook and made an apple pie that was out-of-this-world. When she passed away she never left any of her many wonderful recipes behind because she never wrote them down. However, she always said ';a good cook is not necessarily one who doesn't need recipes'; and ';when you have a recipe, follow it precisely';. There was an old cook-book (I believe Betty Crocker) I remember her painstakingly following on the kitchen counter when she made her apple pie. If you know the book or have a good apple pie recipe it would me greatly appreciated.What is a really wonderful old-fashioned recipe for apple pie?

    Scrumptious Apple Pie


    This apple pie is a classic, from the scrumptious filling to the flaky pastry crust. It is homemade goodness at its very best.





    Pastry


    2 cups Gold Medal庐 all-purpose flour


    1 teaspoon salt


    2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening


    4 to 6 tablespoons cold water





    Filling


    1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar


    1/4 cup Gold Medal庐 all-purpose flour


    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg


    1/8 teaspoon salt


    8 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (8 medium)


    2 tablespoons butter or margarine





    1 . In medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).





    2 . Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.





    3 . Heat oven to 425掳F. With floured rolling pin, roll one pastry round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.





    4 . In large bowl, mix sugar, 1/4 cup flour, the cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir in apples until well mixed. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over filling. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate.





    5 . Roll other round of pastry into 10-inch round. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Unfold top pastry over filling; trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute as desired. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning.





    6 . Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Serve warm if desired.

    Anyone have a simple recipe for Apple pie that uses only brown sugar?

    Just the basic Apple Pie recipe, that uses only brown sugar, and not a specific kind of apple either, thanks.Anyone have a simple recipe for Apple pie that uses only brown sugar?
    You should be able to just mix sliced apples (peeled) with brown sugar (let it sit %26amp; stir it occasionally before putting into pie shell), then put into pie crust (I use store bought for convenience), I recommend putting a few little pats of butter all over the top of it, adds richness to the flavor, but you certainly don't have to! Cover with the top crust, cut out a small hole in center %26amp; bake at 375 for about 40-50 mins or until crust is baked %26amp; filling is bubbling.





    I make simple fruit pies this way all the time %26amp; serve with homemade whipped cream - heavy whipping cream, a wee bit of sugar (to taste, I don't like it sweet) %26amp; a couple drops of vanilla, beat with electric beaters until it starts to 'peak' or is the consistency you prefer. Alternatively, a slice can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or cheddar cheese!

    =================================


    PERFECT APPLE PIE





    PASTRY:





    3/4 cup cake flour


    1 3/4 cups all purpose flour


    scant tsp salt


    1 Tablespoon sugar


    1 Tablespoon lard


    4 Tablespoons Crisco shortening


    large pinch Rumford Baking Powder


    1 Tablespoon buttermilk powder OR:


    1 Tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar ADDED TO:


    5-7 Tablespoons ice water


    one stick plus 1/3 stick butter, frozen in advance





    FILLING:





    10 Apples, peeled and sliced thinly


    1/2 cup white sugar


    2 Tablespoons butter


    2 Tablespoons brown sugar


    1/2 teaspoon ginger


    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


    sprinkle of mace (optional)


    sprinkle of vanilla


    lemon juice


    Flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot for thickening





    Preheat oven to 400掳F, then reduce to 375掳F after pie is in the oven.


    Combine dry ingredients. Mix together Crisco and lard in metal bowl. Sprinkle with flour mixture. Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Remove butter from freezer and slice into 1/2 inch chunks. Add to bowl. Work butter and shortenings together into flour with fingers or a pastry blender, leaving large chunks, the size of walnuts. The purpose is to coat the butter particles with flour, but not to allow the butter or shortenings to melt. Do not overwork the mixture.





    Add the lemon juice or vinegar to ice water and stir quickly into dry ingredients. Mix briefly, less than 45 seconds, leave large unincorporated pockets of butter and shortening. If mixture is beginning to melt, refrigerate briefly.





    Gather mixture together into a flat disc, approximately 1 inch thick, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour or up to 2 days. Freeze if you want to reserve longer than 2 days. The half hour rest is necessary so that the dough will become easier to roll out. The buttermilk powder and/or lemon juice also helps relax the dough and prevent gluten, which can make for a tough crust.





    NOTE: For a flakier pie crust, reserve 1/3 stick of butter and slice lengthwise, 1/8 inch thick. Place strips of butter onto dough and then fold into thirds before refrigerating for half hour resting period.





    For the filling, use a combination of different types of apples. The best combination consists of mostly Granny Smith apples and a few Cortland types. The Granny Smith apples retain their shape when cooked and provide tartness and flavor. Meanwhile, the Cortland apples cook down into applesauce.





    Mix the nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon with the sugar. Sprinkle the sugar with a few drops of pure vanilla extract. Work the butter and 2 Tablespoons flour or other thickener into the sugar. Slice the apples into thin wedges and place apples into pre-rolled out and fitted pie crust, packing apples in tightly, since they will cook down significantly. Mound apples higher in center. Sprinkle over the apples the juice of 1/2 lemon, then sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the apples evenly. Roll out and place top crust, fluting edges to seal tightly and creating several vent holes to allow steam to escape.





    Brush top of crust with a mixture of one egg white and one tablespoon of water or with a little cream. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.





    Variation: One method of making a nice base for your apple pie is to peel a portion of the apples, placing the skins, cores, lemon peels, cinnamon sticks, and fresh grated ginger, into a saucepan with sugar and half cup of water or apple juice. Simmer over low heat for about an hour and strain, reserving the liquid. Thicken 1/2 cup of the strained liquid with 1-2 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot and cool. Add 1/4 tsp vanilla, the sliced and peeled apples, and pour into the pie shell. This is a nice variation when you don't have cortland apples to mix in with the granny smiths because it keeps the pie from being too dry. The liquid is enough for one 10-inch pie about 4 inches tall at center. Adjust according to your pie size.





    Bake about 45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.





    I've found that freshly grated ginger much improves the flavor over the ground type in this recipe.

    Okay,I've googled for you:





    8 servings





    This is my mom's recipe for apple pie (I've even successfully made it a few times!) You can make the crust or you can use a premade one.





    CRUST (recipe makes one double crust):


    2 1/2 cups white flour


    2 tbsp. sugar


    1/4 tsp. salt


    1/2 cup cold butter, broken into small pieces


    5 tbsp. cold vegetable shortening

    Flatten each half into a disk, wrap in saran wrap and chill for at least half an hour.


    Roll out one of the disks on a lightly floured surface until you have a circle that's about 12 inches in diameter.


    Put the circle in a 9'; pie plate, trimming any extra dough from the edges with a sharp knife (parents only). Return it to the refrigerator until you are ready to make the pie.

    God bless.
    I use the crisco crust, I use butter flavored crisco. go to crisco.com, the crust is great.
    Seriously, this is the one to use. I have used it regularly since the recipe was published about a year ago (I make pies once a week). It may seem strange to include vodka in the crust but trust me one this, it is sooo tender and the alcohol bakes off.





    Foolproof Pie Dough


    - makes one 9-inch double-crust pie -





    The trick to this pie crust is the inclusion of vodka. Eighty-proof vodka, which is 60 percent water and 40 percent alcohol, adds moistness to the dough without aiding in gluten formation since gluten doesn't form in ethanol. Although the recipe includes 8 tablespoons of liquid, the alcohol vaporizes during baking, resulting in a tender crust that only contains 6 1/2 tablespoons of water. Because of the extra liquid, the dough will be moister than most standard pie doughs and will require up to 1/4 cup more flour.





    Ingredients


    2 1/2 cups (12 1/2 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour


    1 teaspoon table salt


    2 tablespoons sugar


    12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch slices


    1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening, cut into 4 pieces


    1/4 cup cold vodka


    1/4 cup cold water





    Procedure


    1. Process 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, and sugar in food processor until combined, about 2 one-second pulses. Add butter and shortening and process until homogeneous dough just starts to collect in uneven clumps, about 15 seconds (dough will resemble cottage cheese curds and there should be no uncoated flour). Scrape bowl with rubber spatula and redistribute dough evenly around processor blade. Add remaining cup flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed around bowl and mass of dough has been broken up, 4 to 6 quick pulses. Empty mixture into medium bowl.





    2. Sprinkle vodka and water over mixture. With rubber spatula, use folding motion to mix, pressing down on dough until dough is slightly tacky and sticks together. Divide dough into two even balls and flatten each into 4-inch disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 45 minutes or up to 2 days.

    Does anyone have a good apple pie recipe?

    I don't think there's a bad apple pie recipe. Slice about 6 cups tart apples (Ida Reds, Granny Smith etc.). Toss with 3/4 cup sugar. Pour into pie shell, dot with butter (add cinnamon if you like, I don't) cover with top crust. Pierce top crust or cut slits in it. Bake at 450 10 min. to brown crust, reduce to 350 for 45 minutes. Enjoy!

    PERFECT APPLE PIE





    PASTRY:





    3/4 cup cake flour


    1 3/4 cups all purpose flour


    scant tsp salt


    1 Tablespoon sugar


    1 Tablespoon lard


    4 Tablespoons Crisco shortening


    large pinch Rumford Baking Powder


    1 Tablespoon buttermilk powder OR:


    1 Tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar ADDED TO:


    5-7 Tablespoons ice water


    one stick plus 1/3 stick butter, frozen in advance





    FILLING:





    10 Apples, peeled and sliced thinly


    1/2 cup white sugar


    2 Tablespoons butter


    2 Tablespoons brown sugar


    1/2 teaspoon ginger


    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


    sprinkle of mace (optional)


    sprinkle of vanilla


    lemon juice


    Flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot for thickening





    Preheat oven to 400掳F, then reduce to 375掳F after pie is in the oven.


    Combine dry ingredients. Mix together Crisco and lard in metal bowl. Sprinkle with flour mixture. Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Remove butter from freezer and slice into 1/2 inch chunks. Add to bowl. Work butter and shortenings together into flour with fingers or a pastry blender, leaving large chunks, the size of walnuts. The purpose is to coat the butter particles with flour, but not to allow the butter or shortenings to melt. Do not overwork the mixture.


    Add the lemon juice or vinegar to ice water and stir quickly into dry ingredients. Mix briefly, less than 45 seconds, leave large unincorporated pockets of butter and shortening. If mixture is beginning to melt, refrigerate briefly.


    Gather mixture together into a flat disc, approximately 1 inch thick, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour or up to 2 days. Freeze if you want to reserve longer than 2 days. The half hour rest is necessary so that the dough will become easier to roll out. The buttermilk powder and/or lemon juice also helps relax the dough and prevent gluten, which can make for a tough crust.





    NOTE: For a flakier pie crust, reserve 1/3 stick of butter and slice lengthwise, 1/8 inch thick. Place strips of butter onto dough and then fold into thirds before refrigerating for half hour resting period.





    For the filling, use a combination of different types of apples. The best combination consists of mostly Granny Smith apples and a few Cortland types. The Granny Smith apples retain their shape when cooked and provide tartness and flavor. Meanwhile, the Cortland apples cook down into applesauce.


    Mix the nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon with the sugar. Sprinkle the sugar with a few drops of pure vanilla extract. Work the butter and 2 Tablespoons flour or other thickener into the sugar. Slice the apples into thin wedges and place apples into pre-rolled out and fitted pie crust, packing apples in tightly, since they will cook down significantly. Mound apples higher in center. Sprinkle over the apples the juice of 1/2 lemon, then sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the apples evenly. Roll out and place top crust, fluting edges to seal tightly and creating several vent holes to allow steam to escape.


    Brush top of crust with a mixture of one egg white and one tablespoon of water or with a little cream. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.


    Variation: One method of making a nice base for your apple pie is to peel a portion of the apples, placing the skins, cores, lemon peels, cinnamon sticks, and fresh grated ginger, into a saucepan with sugar and half cup of water or apple juice. Simmer over low heat for about an hour and strain, reserving the liquid. Thicken 1/2 cup of the strained liquid with 1-2 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot and cool. Add 1/4 tsp vanilla, the sliced and peeled apples, and pour into the pie shell. This is a nice variation when you don't have cortland apples to mix in with the granny smiths because it keeps the pie from being too dry. The liquid is enough for one 10-inch pie about 4 inches tall at center. Adjust according to your pie size.


    Bake about 45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.


    I've found that freshly grated ginger much improves the flavor over the ground type in this recipe.Homemade apple pie recipe? Anyone? Lets see what you`ve got.?

    Not very difficult: making the one with the photo's often (as a present)
    don't be scared, apple's the easiest pie to make. i get a bunch of apples - get like 12 granny smith apples (you want the tart ones, so granny's are the best) you need to cut them up into wedges, with the skin left on - course you wash them first. leave the skin on cause it has pectin in it which will help thicken the apple juice so it wont be so runny. after they're all sliced, mix up some sugar, cinnamon and numeg. maybe 11/2 cups sugar, 2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon and like 1 teaspoon nutmeg. should look like the stuff you put on cinnamon toast. taste it to make sure you like the proportions. you can add more of the cinnamon, nutmeg and/or sugar. then mix it into your big bowl of apple slices until all the slices are thickly coated. if you don't have enough, mix up more. don't look like you'll have enough apples to fill the pie pan? cut up more. then you poor the stuff into the pie pan, you want it to be a big mound, not flat cause the apples will cook down. oh, you did put a pie crust into the bottom of the pie pan first, right? for the top crust, i cut the dough into about1 inch strips and lay them across the top of the heap of apples. about 4 strips across and 4-5 up %26amp; down. how easy is that? i cook it at like 350 or 375 for about 45 min to an hour.

    Recipe Summary


    Difficulty: Medium


    Prep Time: 20 minutes


    Cook Time: 50 minutes


    Yield: 6 servings


    User Rating:








    2 cups all-purpose flour


    1 teaspoon salt


    3/4 cup shortening (recommended: Crisco)


    Ice water


    Filling, recipe follows


    Serving suggestion: warm with vanilla ice-cream


    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.


    In a medium-mixing bowl cut the shortening and salt into the flour by hand or with a pastry blender hands until it's the texture of cornmeal. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of ice water over the mixture and mix just until the dough is moistened. Repeat by adding 6 to 8 tablespoons water (one at a time) until all the dough is just moist. Take care not to over mix.


    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Divide the dough in half and roll into a ball. Roll 1 ball into a circle to fit a 9 to 10-inch pie plate. To transfer the pastry to the pie plate, wrap it around a rolling pin and ease it into the pie plate. Be careful not to stretch the pastry. Trim it even with the edges of the pie plate. Add the apple filling into the pastry lined pie plate. Make sure they are laying flat. Cut butter into small pieces and put on top of the filling.


    Roll the remaining pastry into a 12-inch circle. Place on top of the filling. Trim off 1-inch beyond the edge of the pie plate. Crimp the edges as desired. Cut slits to allow steam to escape when baking. Sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon over the pie.


    Cover the edges with foil to prevent over browning. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.


    Filling:


    1/2 cup to 1 cup all-purpose flour


    6 to 7 cups apples cut into thin slices (recommended: Green Golden and Jonathans)


    1 cup white sugar


    1 cup brown sugar


    1 teaspoon cinnamon


    2 tablespoons butter


    In a medium bowl combine the apples, with the brown and white sugar. Add flour, cinnamon and continue mixing until they are well coated.

    The Ultimate Caramel Apple Pie


    Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence








    Recipe Summary


    Difficulty: Medium


    Prep Time: 1 hour 20 minutes


    Cook Time: 50 minutes


    Yield: 4 to 6 servings


    User Rating:








    3 cups all-purpose flour


    Pinch salt


    3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut in chunks


    2 eggs separated, (yolks for the pastry, whites for the glaze)


    3 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed


    Caramel Apples:


    1 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup for the top


    3 tablespoons water


    1/4 cup heavy cream


    1/2 cup red wine


    1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped


    1 lemon, halved


    8 apples (recommended: Granny Smith and Gala)


    1 tablespoon flour


    1 cinnamon stick, freshly grated


    1/4 cup unsalted butter


    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


    To make the pastry, combine the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in the chunks of cold butter with a pastry blender, a little at a time, until the dough resembles cornmeal. Add the 2 egg yolks and the ice water, and blend for a second just to pull the dough together and moisten. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.


    While the dough is resting, prepare the filling.


    To make the caramel sauce: place the sugar and water in a small pot and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until the sugar has melted and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the burner and add the cream and wine slowly. It may bubble and spit, so be careful. When the sauce has calmed down, return it to the flame, add the vanilla bean and heat it slowly, until the wine and caramel are smooth and continue to slowly cook until reduced by half. Remove from the heat and cool until thickened.


    Fill a large bowl with cold water and squeeze in the lemon juice. Peel the apples with a paring knife, cut them in half, and remove the core with a melon baller. Put the apple halves in the lemon-water (this will keep them from going brown). Toss the apples with the flour and cinnamon.





    Take the dough out of the refrigerator, unwrap the plastic, and cut the ball in half. Rewrap and return 1 of the balls to the refrigerator, until ready for the top crust. Let the dough rest on the counter for 15 minutes so it will be pliable enough to roll out. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin and lay it inside a 10-inch glass pie pan. Press the dough into the pan so it fits tightly.


    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


    Slice a couple of the apples at a time using a mandolin or a very sharp knife. The apples need to be thinly sliced so that as the pie bakes, they collapse on top of each other with no air pockets. This makes a dense, meaty apple pie. Cover the bottom of the pastry with a layer of apples, shingling the slices so there are no gaps. Ladle about 2 ounces of the cooled red wine caramel sauce evenly over the apple slices. Repeat the layers, until the pie is slightly overfilled and domed on the top; the apples will shrink down as the pie cooks. Top the apples with pieces of the butter.


    Now, roll out the other ball of dough just as you did the first. Brush the bottom lip of the pie pastry with a little beaten egg white to form a seal. Place the pastry circle on top of the pie, and using some kitchen scissors, trim off the overhanging excess from around the pie. Crimp the edges of dough together with your fingers to make a tight seal. Cut slits in the top of the pie so steam can escape while baking. Place the pie on a sheet tray and tent it with a piece of aluminum foil, so the crust does not cook faster than the apples.





    Bake the caramel apple pie for 25 minutes on the middle rack. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with the freshly grated cinnamon. Remove the foil from the pie and brush the top with the remaining egg white. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar and return to the oven. Continue to bake for another 25 minutes, until the pie is golden and bubbling. Let the apple pie rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the fruit pectin to gel and set; otherwise the pie will fall apart when you cut into it.

    Recipe Summary


    Difficulty: Expert


    Prep Time: 30 minutes


    Inactive Prep Time: 1 minute


    Cook Time: 1 hour


    Yield: 6 servings


    User Rating:








    1 stick unsalted butter


    1 egg, lightly beaten


    2 tablespoons cold water


    1 pinch salt


    1 2/3 cups plain all-purpose flour, sifted


    Caramel Apple Filling:


    1/2 stick unsalted butter


    3/4 cup sugar


    10 apples (recommended: Granny Smiths or Reine de reinette)


    2 tablespoons sugar, for sprinkling


    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.


    To make the pastry, let the butter soften to room temperature and put it into a mixer on low speed. Pulse for 2 seconds before adding the egg followed by the water. Mix for a few seconds and then add the salt and the flour, keeping 2 tablespoons aside to add later in case the dough is too sticky. Work fast because the gluten in the flour makes the dough go elastic.


    Stop the mixer before the dough turns into a ball. Flatten the pastry and shape a circle about 6 inches wide. Place the pastry on a plate, wrap it in plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for 1 hour minimum to 24 hours. This lets the gluten relax and when you roll out the pastry it stays flat.


    Caramel Apple Filling: Cut the butter into little bits and scatter on a 10-inch baking dish. Shake the sugar over it and add 2 tablespoons of water to keep it from crystallizing. Caramelize the sugar by placing the dish on a medium heat. Meanwhile, peel the apples, cut in 2 and remove the core. Cut them into 4 big pieces. Once the butter and sugar have caramelized take the pan off the heat. Place the pieces of apple vertically on top of the caramel in the baking tin, taking care to fill the gaps with more pieces so they stick together in a solid mass. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the apples. Put the dish back on a heat diffuser for 15 minutes at a medium heat until the caramel starts bubbling up through the apples.


    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roll the pastry out and place over the apples folding it in at the edges. Make 3 or 4 holes with a knife and 1 in the middle to let steam out when baking. Bake for 20 minutes and then let it rest for 15 minutes. It is important that you do this otherwise the apples will fall apart when you turn it over. Take a dinner plate and put it over the baking tin. Turn it over. Slowly remove the baking tin.


    Serve lukewarm with vanilla ice cream, heavy cream or whipped cream.
