Ingredients

8 cup(s) prepared zucchini......or 5 pound fresh
1/2 cup(s) lemon juice
3/4 cup(s) brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon, ...ground
1/4 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon(s) allspice,.. ground
1/8 teaspoon(s) cardamon.....ground
3 tablespoon(s) flour
1/2 -3/4 cup(s) craisens
1 - crust recipe ....recipe below
5 cup(s) all purpose flour
5 teaspoon(s) sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1-1/2 cup(s) butter flavored crisco
2 large egg.. yolks only!

Steps:

Gather crust recipe ingredients. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. No sifter? ....Then mix well!
In a 2 cup measuring cup add 1/2 cup cold water. Then ladle in the Crisco with a spoon, pressing Crisco down under the cold water. When the water level reaches up to the 2 cup line, you will have 1-1/2 cups of Crisco! (with no mess) Pour all the water off. Cut this into the flour mix, 2 knifes work well for this. Add Crisco to the flour mix
Beat the 2 egg yolks with a fork, add ice cold water to equal 1 cup. (you can use the egg whites,later with scrambled eggs) Add to the flour mix. Stir in well, but gently.! Do not beat! Cover and set aside for later.
Wash and peel the zucchini. Cut in half, then in quarters, then in eights.
With a spoon, scrape out the center seeds. Then slice the narrow strips, not to thick like you would do for an apple pie.
Put the slices into a large pan, to cook. Add the lemon juice. Bring to a low boil, immediately turn heat to low, almost a simmer. Cook stirring often to soften, keeping an eye on it, so it does not burn. About 10 minutes.
When zucchini is cooked soft but firm, not mushy!, put all into a bowl. Add craisens. Mix ,and set aside while you finish the crust. Spray the 10x14 baking dish with oil...sides and bottom.
Divide the dough in half. On a floured board roll out into a rectangle shape to fit into the baking dish, and up the sides. Pour in the prepared zucchini filling. Dot filling with butter if you like.
Roll out the top crust and lay it on top of zucchini. Crimp the edges of crusts, all around the dish. With a fork puncture the top, many times,so it can breath. Brush the top of crust with a little milk. Then sprinkle the top with sugar. Put in a pre-heated 350 degree oven, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Watch. Don't let the crust edges get to browned. >>>>>Glaze for the cooled top, is 1 cup powdered sugar, mixed with 2-3 teaspoons water.
Grandma says: Any cook worth her weight in salt...will always use the crust scrapes to make ittle bitty cinnamon rolls!.....YUMMY! NOTE: The rolling pin in picture, was a bridal shower gift for me..in 1949! Oh My!....This year it is 64 years old! almost as old as me....LOL!! You can take the end cap off and fill it with cold water.. that helps in the rolling!. Neat ya?

Golly but this recipe ..gets around! eh? If you ladies like zucchini...please see a recipe book I composed Aug 2012. on JAP.

Apple pie is a classic and timeless dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. It's a perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors with a flaky crust that is hard to resist. Apple pie slices refer to individual portions of the traditional apple pie recipe. However, there are various ways to make apple pie slices with different twists to the original recipe. In this article, we will explore different apple pie slice recipes.

Traditional Apple Pie Slices

The traditional apple pie recipe is made with a combination of tart and sweet apples mixed with sugar and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The crust is made with flour, butter, sugar, and water. To make individual apple pie slices, the filling is put into a small pastry shell or a tart mold, and the top is covered with a layer of crust. The pie is then baked in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Caramel Apple Pie Slices

For those who love caramel, this recipe is perfect. To make caramel apple pie slices, start by making a traditional apple pie slice. Once the pie is out of the oven, drizzle it with homemade caramel sauce. To make homemade caramel sauce, mix together sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan. Heat until the mixture turns amber and then remove from the heat. Add in heavy cream and butter, and stir until the mixture is smooth. Let it cool down before pouring it over the apple pie slice.

Crumb Topped Apple Pie Slices

For those who prefer a crumbly topping over a traditional crust, try making crumb-topped apple pie slices. To make the topping, mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Make a traditional apple pie slice as a base, and then spread the crumb topping evenly over the top of the filling. Bake the pie in the oven until the topping is crispy and the filling is bubbling. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream.

Filipino-style Apple Pie Slices

For a unique twist on apple pie, try the Filipino-style- apple pie slice. This recipe uses grated cheddar cheese to add a savory twist to the traditional dessert recipe. To make the crust, mix together flour, sugar, salt, and butter in a large bowl. Add in cold water and knead until the dough forms a ball. Roll out the dough and place it into a tart mold or a small pie pan. Layer the grated cheddar cheese over the crust, and then add sliced apples on top. Pour condensed milk over everything, and then sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is cooked.

Gluten-free Apple Pie Slices

For those who follow a gluten-free diet, this recipe is perfect for you. The crust is made with almond flour, coconut flour, and cold butter. To make the filling, mix together sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Roll out the crust and place it into a small tart mold. Add the filling and bake in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Serve warm with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.

Conclusion

In conclusion, apple pie slices are a tasty, individual treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you prefer the traditional recipe or want to add your twist to it, apple pie slices are a dessert that everyone will enjoy.

Valuable Tips for Making Delicious Apple Pie Slices

Have you ever craved a delicious, comforting apple pie but didn't want to go through the hassle of making an entire pie? Look no further than these apple pie slices recipes! Perfect for individual servings or for sharing with a group, these recipes are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Here are some valuable tips for making the perfect apple pie slices:

1. Choosing the Right Apples

The type of apple you choose can make or break your pie. Generally, you'll want to choose apples that are tart, firm, and hold their shape when cooked. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all great choices for apple pie slices. Avoid using apples that are too soft or mushy, as they will break down and turn your filling into applesauce.

2. Adding Flavors

While traditional apple pie has a simple filling of sliced apples, sugar, and spices, you can take your apple pie slices to the next level by adding different flavors. Consider adding lemon juice, orange zest, or vanilla extract to your filling for an extra pop of flavor. You can also mix in other fruits such as cranberries, cherries, or peaches for a unique twist on the classic apple pie.

3. Using the Right Crust

When it comes to making apple pie slices, the crust is just as important as the filling. Make sure to use a good-quality pie crust that is buttery and flaky. You can use store-bought crust or make your own from scratch, but be sure to follow the recipe carefully and avoid overworking the dough. A great alternative to traditional pie crust is using puff pastry for a light, airy crust.

4. Cutting and Serving

Once your apple pie slices are baked and cooled, it's time to cut and serve them. One important tip is to make sure that the filling is set before you cut into the pie. If the filling is still too hot or runny, the slices will fall apart and create a mess. To make perfect slices, use a sharp knife and cut straight down into the pie. You can also use a pie server or spatula to lift the slices out of the pan and onto a plate.

5. Topping and Serving Suggestions

Apple pie slices are delicious on their own, but you can also add a topping or serve them with something extra. Whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or caramel sauce are all great options for topping your pie. You can also serve your apple pie slices with a cup of hot coffee, tea, or cider to complete the cozy, comforting experience. In conclusion, making apple pie slices can be an easy and enjoyable way to satisfy your sweet tooth. With the right ingredients, flavors, and techniques, you can create a delicious treat that everyone will love. So, why not give it a try and impress your friends and family with your perfect apple pie slices?
