Apple Pie

Back when I hosted my very first Thanksgiving I had baked tons of dessert. I'm not a fan of apple pies but for some reason I decided to make a couple of them so I hit the web to look for a good recipe and voila, jackpot! I found this delicious recipe on allrecipes.com and it's definitely a keeper. 

For the past year and some change I've been baking apple pies using this recipe and I cannot get enough of all the good feedback I get as well of how amazing they always turn out to be. This past Friday we had a late start due to the snow and I decided to bake an apple pie. I looked up that delicious recipe and got to work by peeling, coring, and cutting the apples with this awesome little gadget :) 

Again I got great feedback at work so I decided to share it here for anyone interested and of course for easy access when I feel like baking one again ;)

 

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Ingredients

• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced (I only had room for 5 apples)
  

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
2. Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
3. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
