GRANDMA OPLE'S APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
• Bake 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C), and continue baking for 35-45 minutes.
• Note: you might want to set a baking sheet under the pie to catch any drips.

RUBY RED GRAPEFRUIT PIE

Steps:

• 1. Make Crust 2 hours ahead.......or night before I prefer night before....Combine flour and salt in large bowl, add cracked butter cut in with pastry cutter or knives, gradually working butter in till mixture resembles pebbles. This should take about 6 minutes.
• 2. Lightly beat egg with fork, then add it to mixture next, add water in a Tbsp at a time working it in with your hands or a wooden spoon all the while, add in the vinegar and work in with spoon or hands..
• 3. Work till just combined if dough is tacky add a little flour to it and work it through. Then remove half the dough from the bowl place in a large plastic freezer bag (do not seal) flatten it out slightly with your rolling pin. After you have flattened out where you want it you can put it in the freezer for later use. (this is a great recipe for these ready to go pie shells)
• 4. Repeat the steps for the second one and put it in the frig over night or for 1-2 hour before you roll it out and bake in a Preheated oven of 400* 10-12 minutes. Set a side to cool
• 5. The best part (what goes inside) Peel and section the ruby reds set a side. Combine sugar, cornstarch, juice, salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium heat cook till clear and thickened, stirring often. Remove from heat. Stir in the Gelatin. Cool until thickened. Spoon a small amount of the mixture into the pie shell. Top with ruby red. Cover with the remaining gelatin mixture. Any remaining ruby red use to decorate the top with if you like you can also decorate with a sprig of sweet mint. Let chill 4 hours or til set.

GRAPEFRUIT PIE

Steps:

• 1. Peel and section grapefruit. Be sure to remove all the white pith because it will make the pie bitter. I remove all the membrane from each section. Cut each section in half. Place sections in a colander over a bowl and let juice drain, but do NOT squeeze or mash.
• 2. Heat water to boiling. Combine Jello, sugar and corn starch in small bowl. Pour boiling water in and mix until Jello and sugar is dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.
• 3. Gently stir grapefruit sections into Jello mixture, being careful not to mash sections too much. You want them to stay plump and juicy! Place in refrigerator and chill until set.
• 4. Serve plain or with whipped cream or ice cream.
• 5. I have also made this pie using sugar-free Jello and Splenda. No one I served it to could tell the difference!
