Grandma Ople's Apple Pie





';This was my grandmother's apple pie recipe. I have never seen another one quite like it. It will always be my favorite, and I hope it becomes one of your favorites as well!';

COOK TIME 1 Hr


READY IN 1 Hr 30 Min


Original recipe yield 1 - 9 inch pie

Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes.


Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.

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:
