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.

Apple pie is my favorite pie. I make it for holidays and just because sometimes too. I wanted to cut out some of the fat from the butter so I cut it down and eliminate the sugar. It makes it caramel and better for you.

APPLE PIE BY GRANDMA OPLE



Apple Pie by Grandma Ople image

Up until I made THIS apple pie, I had hated apple pies my entire life! It didn't matter if I bought them or made them; it didn't matter if they were Dutch or Crumb-crust or plain crust...I couldn't get past the overly sweet/cinnamony insipidness of the filling. However, things have now changed, forever. A friend begged me to make them an apple pie, and I found this recipe on a website where it had garnered 1,617 five star reviews! I read over 40 of the reviews and the version of the pie recipe that I'm posting is based on THEIR tweaking it. The original pie had too many calories for some and no seasonings: suggestions included cutting the syrup in 1/2, adding vanilla and some spices. It also included several helpful hints on adding the buttery caramel syrup. Please do yourself a favour: whether you adore apple pie or have always avoided it as I have, MAKE THIS PIE!!!! If you want to make it with the original recipe, here is the link: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Pie-by-Grandma-Ople/Detail.aspx?src=etaf. My many thanks and appreciation to the original poster, Moshamama.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup apple cider (apple juice or water)
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon allspice or 1 teaspoon nutmeg
6 cups peeled cored sliced tart apples (Cortland or Granny Smith)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Process the apple slices.
  • Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven. Stir in cornstarch to form a paste.
  • Add the apple juice, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce temperature and let simmer. When very bubbly and slightly thickened, remove from heat and add the vanilla and spices. Dump the apple slices into the syrup and stir thoroughly to coat.
  • Place the bottom crust in your pan.
  • Fill with apples, mounded slightly and packed well.
  • Gently spoon the caramel-coated apples, minus the syrup, into the crust. Then pour most of the syrup evenly over the apples, reserving enough to brush over the top crust.
  • Cover with a lattice work of crust. Pour or brush the sugar and butter liquid over the crust.
  • Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  • Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft and crust is a light golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to make the pie crust dough. This will save you time and energy, and it will also help to ensure that the dough is evenly mixed.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also make the dough by hand. Just be sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly and until the dough comes together.
  • Chill the pie crust dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. You don't want to overwork the dough, or it will become tough.
  • Use a pie plate that is at least 9 inches in diameter. This will ensure that the pie has enough room to expand in the oven.
  • Trim the edges of the dough so that they are even with the edge of the pie plate.
  • Brush the edges of the dough with water and then sprinkle them with sugar. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
