FRENCH APPLE PIE WITH ICING RECIPE - (3.6/5)

Steps:

• Pie: * Bring the apple cider to a boil in a saucepan over med-high heat about 20 mins, until reduced to about 2/3 cup. 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2) Combine 1/4 cup butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, apples, baking soda, flour, cider raisins, 1 tsp vanilla and reduced apple cider in a large bowl and mix well. 3) Pour mixture into prepared pie pan and top with remaining crust. Trim, seal and flute the edges. Slit the top crust with a knife a few times to let the steam escape. 4) Place prepared pie on a baking sheet and cover edges while baking if it is darkening too quickly. Bake in preheated oven for 45 mins. 5) Cool on a wire rack for about 25 to 30 mins and then refrigerate. Ensure the pie is very cool before the glaze is drizzled on. Put back in refrigerator so the glaze sets up. Glaze: 1) Combine all ingredients and mix until creamy. If needed, add a little more milk to get the correct consistency. You may also add a tsp of ground cinnamon for additional flavor.
