GRANDMA OPLE'S APPLE PIE



Grandma Ople's Apple Pie image

This is a recipe for apple pie that I got from allrecipes.com and it is THE BEST apple pie I have ever had. It is different that ordinary apple pie, the fresh apples are placed in the crust, covered in a lattice top and smothered in a decadent sauce. Whoever Grandma Ople is, I would really like to thank her for she sure knows how to make a mean apple pie!For my crust, I use a recipe for pie crust that includes vinegar and is found on this site.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds short crust pastry, recipe follows
7 cups Royal Gala apples, cored and quartered (about 5 apples)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch salt
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces unsalted butter, cold
8 ounces shortening, cold
1/2 cup ice cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Roll 1/2 the short crust pastry to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out a 14-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry, trim away the excess and crimp the edge.
  • Roll out the rest of the pastry to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the pastry into 1/2-inch strips. On a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper weave the strips of pastry into a lattice that will cover the top of a 9-inch pie plate with 1-inch of overhang. Refrigerate the pie shell and lattice for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the apple quarters into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss the apples with the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Brush the inside edge of the pastry with the egg wash. Arrange the apples in the pie shell and dab the top with pieces of cold butter. Slide the lattice top over the apples. Press the pastry of the lattice firmly on the crimped edge to seal the 2 together. Brush the lattice with egg wash. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate the butter and shortening into the flour. Combine the mixture with your fingers until it resembles cornmeal. Add the ice cold water and mix with a spoon, pulling the water into the flour until a dough forms.
  • With your hands, shape the dough into 2 balls and flatten them into disks. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.

AUNT CAROL'S APPLE PIE



Aunt Carol's Apple Pie image

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and core your apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Add some spices to your apple mixture. This will enhance the flavor of the apples and make your pie more flavorful. Some good choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. This will make a big difference in the overall taste and texture of your pie. You can either make your own pie crust or use a store-bought one.
  • Don't overfill your pie crust. This will prevent the pie from bubbling over and making a mess. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the pie crust.
  • Bake your pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to create a crispy crust. Then, reduce the temperature and continue baking until the pie is cooked through.
  • Let your pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
