APPLE PIE FROM GRANDMA'S KITCHEN



Apple Pie from Grandma's Kitchen image

There's nothing that says "home" quite like a nice, home-baked apple pie. This recipe was adapted from the 1941 New American Cookbook that my mother and grandmother used. This wonderful pie is the perfect ending to a great meal for company or for a special treat for your family. It smells heavenly while it's baking and turns...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 to 8 medium pared and cored apples. sliced about 1/4" thick
1/2 to 2/3 c sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more, if you like)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 c all purpose flour
2 Tbsp butter
1 pie crust for double crust pie (i use my fool-proof pie crust recipe)
milk
raw sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a 9" pie plate with cooking spray and set aside.
  • 2. Lightly roll out 1/2 pie crust to 1/8" thickness, about 2 1/2 inches larger than pie plate. Fold in half and fit into pie plate. Trim the edges to fit the pie plate. Place crust in oven for about 5 minutes, remove from oven and set aside. This step will prevent your bottom crust from becoming soggy.
  • 3. In large bowl, mix apples, sugar, spices, lemon juice and flour. Pour into bottom crust and dot with butter. Moisten the edge of the crust with cold water.
  • 4. Roll out the remaining pie crust to about 1/8" thick and about 1" larger than the diameter of the plate. Fold in half and place over the apples with the folded half in the center. Carefully unfold and adjust over the apples. Gently press edges together and trim to fit the pie plate. Using a fork dipped in flour, press edges together or crimp edges with fingers. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in the crust, about 1/2" in length.
  • 5. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with raw sugar. Place aluminum foil strips around the edge of the crust.
  • 6. Line a cookie sheet or pizza pan with aluminum foil and place on the bottom rack in the oven. Place pie on the top rack and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove pie from oven and remove foil. Return to oven and bake for about another 10 minutes or until crust is evenly golden.

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds short crust pastry, recipe follows
7 cups Royal Gala apples, cored and quartered (about 5 apples)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch salt
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces unsalted butter, cold
8 ounces shortening, cold
1/2 cup ice cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Roll 1/2 the short crust pastry to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out a 14-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry, trim away the excess and crimp the edge.
  • Roll out the rest of the pastry to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the pastry into 1/2-inch strips. On a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper weave the strips of pastry into a lattice that will cover the top of a 9-inch pie plate with 1-inch of overhang. Refrigerate the pie shell and lattice for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the apple quarters into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss the apples with the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Brush the inside edge of the pastry with the egg wash. Arrange the apples in the pie shell and dab the top with pieces of cold butter. Slide the lattice top over the apples. Press the pastry of the lattice firmly on the crimped edge to seal the 2 together. Brush the lattice with egg wash. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate the butter and shortening into the flour. Combine the mixture with your fingers until it resembles cornmeal. Add the ice cold water and mix with a spoon, pulling the water into the flour until a dough forms.
  • With your hands, shape the dough into 2 balls and flatten them into disks. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.
