APPLE PIE WITH NO APPLES



Apple Pie With No Apples image

This recipe is one that my mother, grandmother and great grandmother made. I thought it had been lost when my mother died. Imagine my surprise when I found it written on the inside of her favorite cookbook, which I inherited. I had no idea whether or not it would taste as good as my childhood memories when I made it. It does. One can use either pre-made unbaked pie shells and/or crusts, or homemade. I used a pre-made, unbaked shell and then cut up a premade (boxed) unbaked crust for the lattice top. The extra pie crust I sprinkled with sugar and baked along with the pie. I remember the "pie crust cookies" from my childhood too. This pie has the taste and texture of a real apple pie, and it's a lot of fun to see the expressions when it's revealed that the 'secret ingredient' is Ritz crackers. It's a quick and easy recipe that tastes good.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor. Try using a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith,Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly. You can use a mandoline to make this task easier.
  • Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your pie. You can either make your own pie crust or use a store-bought one.
  • Don't skimp on the spices. Spices are what give apple pie its characteristic flavor. Be sure to use a generous amount of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Let the pie cool before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious apple pie that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give apple pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
