Apple Pie
I love this recipe and it is extremely popular with guests.
What you need
- 1 recipe double crust pie pastry or 1 recipe single crust pie pastry
1 recipe crumb topping (included here)
- 6 large Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbl flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbl butter or margarine
- »«For pastry topped pie»«
- 1 tbl milk
- Cinnamon sugar
- »«Crumb Topping»«
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 450º
- Pare and slice apples and place in a large mixing bowl
- Add sugar, salt, flour and cinnamon and stir to combine
- Line a 9 inch pie pan with pastry, leaving a 1 inch overlap
- Spoon apples into pan, mounding in the center and packing well
- Dot with butter or margarine
- If using pastry topping - brush edge of lower pastry lightly with water, cover top of pie with pastry and fold and crimp edges
- Working quickly, brush top crust lightly with milk (don't allow milk to pool at crimped edge) and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar
- Cut a few vents in upper crust
- If using crumb topping - using a fork or pastry blender, quickly mix topping ingredients
- Sprinkle evenly over pie, pressing lightly
- Bake 15 minutes at 450, then reduce oven to 350 and bake approximately 45 minutes longer
I use Pillsbury Pie Crusts that I purchase in the refrigerator section, rather than make the pastry from scratch.
