Li-Chin got some apples from her friend's apple tree. They are a little raw so she decided to make an apple pie with Peggy and Chen Chen. We found a recipe from grandma Ople's apple pie. We made some minor modification and it turns out great!Ingredients:
2 uncooked pie crusts
6 media size green apples (e.g. Granny Smith)
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoon cinnamon
Steps:
1. Melt butter in a saucer, stir in flour, sugar, water, and cinnamon until everything mixed well.
2. peel apples, remove cores, and cut them in thin slices
3. Preheat oven to 425 degree
4. pile the apples in the pie crust.
5. Pour the #1 mix on top of apples evenly
6. cut the second pie crust into 3/4 inch slices, and weave them into lattice pattern. Use a fork's back to press the edge of the pie crust.
7. bake the pie in the center of the over for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degree and bake it for 35 minutes.
8 Remove it from over and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Yummy, the best apple pie I ever have of 2010. I will be a happy tester any time:))
ReplyDeleteDitto. It is the best
ReplyDeleteFor a papa who is diabetic, next time I will use this recipe to make another only replacing sugar with Stevia, which is available at Trader Joe's, and see how it turns out.
Never found a better apple pie. The sourness and dry textture of the raw apple totally disappered. Way to go. I'll always be a happy taster.
ReplyDeleteJust finished the piece I brought from home, along with my first cup of coffee in the morning. It makes me feel at home, sitting at the breakfast table and watching the sun coming through the east window. Feels comfortable! And this pie gives "comfort food" its rightfully deserved good name!
ReplyDeleteLove the reduction of sugar without sacrificing its taste. The best apple pie by far. Jiing-Kuan
