GRANDMA'S APPLE PIE

Categories     Pie

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, softened
3/4 cup low-fat cream cheese
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 lbs apples, peeled,cored,sliced thinly
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
5 -6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the butter or margarine and cream cheese together until smooth.
  • Work in the flour to make a soft dough.
  • Divide the dough into two balls, wrap them, and chill them in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
  • Mix the sliced apples with the cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice, reserving a little sugar and cinnamon.
  • Mix well.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of pastry and use it to line a deep 10-inch pie dish.
  • Bake the pastry blind (see note on baking blind).
  • When the pie shell has cooled, fill it with the apples, piling them higher in the center.
  • Roll out the other pastry ball thinly and gently lay it on top.
  • Press the edges together, trim off any excess pastry, then mark the edges with a fork and prick the top of the pie several times.
  • Mix the reserved cinnamon and sugar together, and sprinkle the mixture on top of the pie.
  • Bake at 375 F for 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples have cooked.
  • Note: Baking Blind: Baking blind, which partially cooks the pie shell, will ensure that it stays crisp under a liquid filling.
  • Cover the pastry, including the rim, with aluminum foil to prevent it from rising.
  • Weigh it down with baking beans (dried lima or butter beans are perfect).
  • Bake it in a preheated oven at 400 F for 10-12 minutes (slightly less time if you are making small individual pie shells).
  • Remove the foil and bake for a further 5 minutes or until the pie shell starts to color.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned iron skillet. This will help to prevent the pie from sticking and will give it a nice, crispy crust.
  • Use a variety of apples. This will give the pie a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. Otherwise, the pie will be difficult to assemble and the filling may bubble over.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Reduce the temperature after 15 minutes and continue baking until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Iron Skillet Apple Pie is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flaky crust, sweet and tart filling, and nostalgic charm, this pie is sure to become a favorite in your family.
