APPLE PIE TWISTS
Steps:
- Sprinkle some flour onto a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface and lay out one piece of the puff pastry. Spread the apple butter over the entire surface of the pastry. Place the other piece of pastry on top.
- Flour a rolling pin and roll the pastry out until it is pressed into a flat, cohesive square sheet. A little apple butter will squeeze out; just make sure not to press it all out!
- Use a large jar lid or measuring cup to score the center of the pastry square to keep an uncut center. Make 4 cuts from the center (keeping the lid in place); there should be 4 even quadrants. Cut each quadrant into 4 equal strips, all making a sunburst pattern from the center. Twist the strips twice around, bringing the tips back to their original position.
- Transfer the parchment to a baking sheet. Remove the lid from the center and place a stencil in the center (if using). Brush the puff pastry with the egg and sprinkle it evenly with the turbinado sugar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove the stencil if using. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cut the apple slices into halves or thirds; you're looking for apple pieces that are about 1-inch square.
- Place the apples in a shallow, microwave-safe bowl and microwave them, uncovered, for 5 to 6 minutes, until they've softened but still retain a bit of "bite.".
- Remove them from the microwave, transfer the apples (leaving any juice in the bowl) to a medium mixing bowl, and stir in the sugar, spices, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice.
- As you stir, the mixture will become syrupy. Add the butter and flour, and stir until everything is well blended.
- Set it aside.
- Pour filling into prepared crust.
- Spoon the filling into the crust.
- Roll the top crust into a 10-inch circle, and place it over the filling.
- Fold the edge of the bottom crust up over the edge of the top crust, squeeze them together, and crimp nicely.
- Cut a slit in the center of the crust, for steam to escape.
- Place the pie pan on center rack and then place a cookie sheet on a lower rack (to catch any spills), and bake the pie for 30 minutes.
- Gently place a sheet of aluminum foil atop the pie, covering its entire surface, and continue to bake for an additional 90 minutes, for a total of 2 hours, till the top crust is golden brown and the filing is bubbly.
- Yes, that's right; the pie won't burn, because the filling insulates the bottom crust, and the top crust is protected by the foil.
- Remove the pie from the oven, and allow it to cool for 1 1/2 to 2 hours before serving. If you cut into it too soon, the filling will be watery, and will ooze out.
- Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp.
- Prepare the apples properly: Peel, core, and slice the apples evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Use a variety of spices: Experiment with different spices to create different flavor profiles. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice.
- Don't overcook the apples: Cook the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked apples will become mushy and bland.
- Serve the apples warm or cold: Cooked apples can be served warm as a side dish or dessert, or chilled and used in salads or yogurt parfaits.
