Little C had never had apple pie and had been asking me how it was made. Well, there was only one way to educate her on the All-American dessert. We made it together, based on the Perfect Apple Pie recipe from the PA Grange Cookbook. I didn't make my crusts - I bought them to save time, but I think I will go back to making my own because that's like using a cake mix - I don't like to do it!
The pie was very good and it made me want to make another apple pie.
I made a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, using the Libby's recipe. It was good, but did not turn out as pretty as last year's.
Below is the recipe for the Apple Pie:
6-7 Tart Apples - I used 5 or 6 large Jonagold Apples
1 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Milk
Dash Nutmeg
2 Tablespoons Butter
Pare and slice apples thin - I cut the slices in to 1/2 inch pieces.
Add the milk to the apples and toss to coat.
Combine sugar, cornstarch, and spices; mix with apples.
Put in a 9 inch pastry lined pie pan; dot with butter.
Add top crust and sprinkle with sugar (Oh dear! I forgot the extra sugar)
Bake at 400 for 50 minutes.
As the picture shows, I put mine on a foil lined baking pan to catch any overflows.
Several people have mentioned that they wanted to see what I did for Thanksgiving. There was really nothing out of the ordinary. I made homemade cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, corn pudding and the pumpkin pie. Mr. SBQ made the turkey, stuffing/dressing, gravy and Brussels sprouts. Our neighbors that joined us brought ham, and pecan pie bars. It was a very good feast, but I didn't try out anything new this year. I figured there was only so much food 7 people could eat; especially since 3 of them were little people. :)
I am working on my inspiration for Christmas. I am still not sure what my new treats are going to be this year. I have a few ideas, but am still searching. Maybe I will make some pies! ;)
