9 CUP HOLIDAY APPLE PIE

Steps:

• 1. PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 425 DEGREES F. Wash core and peel the apples then slice thinly and place in a very large bowl. Alternate both varieties as you peel and slice, that way they will be evenly mixed together. Drizzle with the lemon juice, this prevents them from turning brown.
• 2. Add both sugars to a medium size bowl, then add the spices and salt, add the Wondra flour, then stir till it is blended well. You may want to divide the sugar mixture in half to have enough for each layer of the pie.
• 3. Now place the first pie crust into the pie tin, Now spread a layer of the sliced apples in bottom of pie tin. Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Repeat this step at least 2 or 3 additional times, alternating with the sugar mixture each time.
• 4. Finish with any remaining sugar mixture. Now dot the top of the pie with half of the butter.
• 5. Cover with top crust, sealing the top crust to the bottom crust. Then flute the edges. Make 6 or more slits in tip crust, this allows the steam to escape as the pie bakes.
• 6. Create an egg wash by beating the egg with 1 tablespoon of water then brush over the top of pie crust. This allows the crust to cook to an even golden brown color. Sprinkle top crust with white sparkling sugar,Optional if desired, or can use regular sugar.
• 7. Now line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil and place pie in pan to catch any potential drips while pie is baking. Place in preheated 425 degree F. oven and bake for 15 minutes.
• 8. THEN LOWER TEMPERATURE TO 350 DEGREES F. for an additional 50 to 55 minutes or until pie is hot bubbly and golden brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool COMPLETELY before cutting and serving. SOMETIMES YOU JUST CANNOT WAIT! SMILE

• Sprinkle the butter pieces over the top evenly.
• Top pie with top layer of the pie pastry, crimping and sealing edges decoratively.
• Combine egg yolk and water and brush over entire surface of the pie with a pastry brush.
• Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow venting of steam.
• Set a foil lined cookie sheet on the bottom rack of your oven and set the pie on the center rack of your oven (the extra pan will help catch any drips).
• Bake for 15 minutes at 425F.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350 F and bake another 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is starting to bubble.
• Let cool before slicing as this will be boiling hot when fresh from the oven (you may serve pie warm or cold).
• NOTE: I check the pie about halfway through the baking process and if the crust edges are getting too brown, I set a pie ring on top; If you don't have a pie ring, you can make one using foil.
