I made this Apple pie for a contest ( from fresh picked apple )at the Fryeburg fair today how does it look to you? I cooked it in an old fashion woodcook stove, I am ver proud of my self you can really see the edges on this one for those of you that would like to try it here is the recipe: INGREDIENTS Pie crust 2 cups all-purpose flour I teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 6 tablespoons butter 6 tablespoons shortening 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water Pie filling 2/3 cups granulated sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup water 7 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples, about 3 pounds INSTRUCTIONS Mix in a large bowl: 2 cups all-purpose flour I teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar Then cut in 6 tablespoons butter 6 tablespoons shortening 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water Wrap your pie crust in plastic wrap. Then place in refrigerator for 20 or more minutes, while you make the pie filling. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, water, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl. Place apple slices in a large bowl. Add sugar mixture and toss to coat apple slices. Spoon the apple mixture into the unbaked pie shell assemble the top crust,. Optional :Cover the edge with foil. Bake 40 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees or until the crust is golden brown, apples are tender and juices are bubbly.
Ok now SERIOUSLY ! I am TRYING to get up the gumption to eat right and exercise (phew, I think I worked up a sweat just thinking about that) to lose weight, and here you are tempting us with that deliceous looking pie !!! HOW DARE YOU !!! :wink: (looks good)
Looks great!! And I commend you on baking in a wood stove....took me a few tries to get that one down! Hope you do well in the contest. :greengrin: Some of the best apple pies I've made have been from "pasture apples"....plentiful and free, just took some time to peel those little things. I now live 2 miles from an orchard that has the best granny smiths as well as others, but I prefer the granny's for baking.
Sonrise Farm thats like my family, but when we have a bake dinner lol. There is no " Oh I'll get potato later if im hungry", Its, you get potato now or you get none. lol
i wonder how long it would take to ship me a piece of it :ROFL: -It looks delicious and I love the patterns on the crust- yummy :drool:
