Ah, apple pie... You know why apple pie is so great...? Because it's the perfect dessert all year round! It's quite patriotic for the fourth of July, and its cozy and comforting during the holidays. I featured this pie on my fourth of July menu. I got it off of my trusty "go-to" website allrecipes.com http://allrecipes.com/recipe/apple-pie-by-grandma-ople/detail.aspxbut I've made a few modifications to the original. Here is the step by step.
What you'll need:
- 9" double pie crust (I use Pillsbury pre-made pie crust because I've yet to make a better one from scratch and so... whats the point?)
-1/2 cup butter
-3 tablespoons flour
-1/4 water
-1 tablespoon vanilla extract
-1/2 cup white sugar
-1/2 cup (packed) brown sugar
-6 granny smith apples
-a few dashes of cinnamon
-Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
-Peel, core and slice apples
-Lay one of the 9" pie crusts into the bottom of a 9" pie pan.
-Layer the apples along the bottom and top with a dash of cinnamon.
-Repeat
-And repeat again until you have a little mountain of sliced apples topped with cinnamon.
-Lay the second 9" pie crust on a clean surface.
-Using a butter knife, slice into even strips.
-Place a side strip on the furthest edge of the pie.
-Skip the next strip, select the next and set it at the 1/4 point of the pie.
-skip the next strip, select the next and set it at the 3/4 point of the pie.
-Skip the next strip, select the last strip and set that at the opposite edge of the pie.
-Select the strip that is closest to the pie and set is horizontally at the 1/4 point.
-Select the next strip and place it horizontally at the middle point of the pie.
-Select the last strip and place it horizontally at the 3/4 point of the pie. Now you have a nice lattice top.
-In a small sauce pan, melt butter over medium low heat.
-Stir in flour
-Add water, white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract.
-Bring to a boil
-Reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
-Pour mixture evenly into the holes of the lattice crust.
-Ready to go into the oven!
-Bake of 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
-Then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
There you go, BEST apple pie! The end.
