CROATIAN APPLE PIE
This is the third of my grandmother's famous pies (sour cherry, cheese). The recipe for dough is the same as for previous two. Filling is actually the same as for strudel, so if you have dough for strudel, use it.

Steps:
- Make dough out of flour, breadcrumbs, and lemon rinds, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla flavored sugar and melted butter.
- Mix everything in a bowl and at the end add egg yolks. Mix some more and add sour cream.
- Mix more until you get nice greasy dough. If it is too greasy you can add some more flour. When done, put into refrigerator for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, put the dough out and work a little to make it softer. Cut ¼ of the dough and put aside.
- During this, peal the apples and grate them in a bowl. Don't put sugar yet or apples will loose juice (put sugar last). During a day, assuming you have planned to make a pie, soak raisins in rum. When raisins get swelled put them into apples and add cinnamon. Be grateful with cinnamon. Now add sugar.
- Roll the rest of dough into ½ cm thin sheet. Cover the bottom of 28cm low rim cake pan with butter, and put onto it a dough sheet. Make sure that the rim is also covered with dough from inside.
- Pour apple stuffing on dough. Roll the rest of the dough into thin sheet and put over the apples making sure that it is covered.
- Poke 10 holes with a fork on the cover. Put the pie into preheated oven on 180°C and bake 30-40 minutes or until it gets light golden. Before serving sparkle with caster sugar.

AUNT CAROL'S APPLE PIE
Everyone in the family has something that they're the best at making. I make the best cookies, my sister, Carol, makes the best pies in the whole world!...no competition in our family! This recipe includes an ingredient called free-flowing brown sugar. This is a non-clumping or caking version of ordinary brown sugar. It has a lower moisture content then the traditional one, which makes it free flowing much like granulated sugar. It is available at most specialty supermarket. If it is not available in your part of the world, use regular brown sugar and make sure it is broken up, free of clumps. Macintosh or Granny Smith apples are the best choices for apple pie because they are the least mushy apples.

Steps:
- Peel and slice apples. Toss with sugars, cinnamon and flour. Set aside.
- Roll crust to make slightly larger to fit 10-inch glass pie pan. Fit bottom crust in pie pan. Turn in apple mixture and dot with butter. Put crust on top and crimp edges of crust together.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Wet hands with water and dampen top of pie. Sprinkle with additional sugar. Puncture top of pie with fork so the steam can escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for about 45 minutes more, until crust is golden brown. It's a good practice to place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the pie under the pie plate to catch overflows. Serve warm.

Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening, and make sure the butter is cold when you add it to the flour.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
- To prevent the crust from shrinking, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
- To make the apple filling, use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly so they will cook evenly.
- Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the apples for a classic apple pie flavor.
- If you want a sweeter pie, you can add more sugar to the filling.
- To make a lattice crust, roll out the dough into a large rectangle and cut it into strips. Weave the strips together over the filling.
- To prevent the crust from burning, brush it with milk or an egg wash before baking.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
