With the
holidays here, I can't get enough of baking. There is just something about the warmth of a hot pie, fresh out
of the oven that warms my soul, and my tummy. I cooked up an apple pie for ‘Friendsgiving’
and it was instantly demolished. So, I was inspired to bake another last week
just for fun. There is just something beautiful about the variation of each
apple that goes into the dish. And for me, baking provides a therapeutic feeling that just puts me in a happy place as I tend to each element, working towards creating
the perfect pie. The right type of pie is a great dish that everyone will
love and eat up instantly – and who doesn't love the friend that brings dessert?
(don’t forget the vanilla ice cream!)
Feel free to amend the recipe to your
sweet tooth level.
A is for Apple Pie Recipe
6 apples, thinly sliced (I use a mix of Fuji, Granny Smith and Honeycrisp and leave the skin on, although feel free to peel yours if you wish)
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon powered sugar
1/2 cup of organic sugar
1/2 cup of light brown sugar
1 freshly squeezed lemon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Prepare your crust, as recipe calls for. Chill dough for 1 hour. Sprinkle flour on the bottom of your pie dish. Once chilled, roll out half of the dough into a 9-inch, greased and floured pie pan. Cut edges off that hang over your dish. (Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crust is perfect substitution if you don't want to make your own dough) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Chop up your apples in a large bowl with a top. Toss in all other ingredients and shake together until well mixed. Let sit overnight in fridge, if you have time. Spoon the apple mixture into pie pan and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Apply top layer of crust, pinching edges to close. Add a few slits in middle for steam. Cover edges with foil so they do not burn. Remove foil after 30 min so that edges can bake. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes or until brown and flaky. Top with vanilla ice cream and ENJOY!
