Best Kellys Apple Pie Recipes

KELLY'S APPLE-STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl, slice strawberries and rhubarb and sprinkle with HALF of the REGULAR (white) sugar, set aside.
• In medium/small bowl, combine rest of sugars, flour, and cinnamon.
• In small bowl, grate peeled apples, tossing with lemon juice so they don't turn brown.
• Pour medium bowl mixture and apple mixture along with vanilla into the large bowl of rhubarb and strawberries and fold well til mixed.
• Pour mixture into pastry-lined 9" deepdish pie plate.
• Cut up butter and dot evenly.
• Cover with second pastry, seal edges well, and flute.
• Cut slits to vent.
• Brush top pastry crust with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in 375 degree oven for about 50-60 minutes til done. Ovens vary so much that this is the best I can tell ya! *Cover edges with foil if they start to brown too much.
• ***You may want to set the pie on a foil-lined small cookie sheet to catch any drips if it happens to bubble over a bit. Hot bubbly sugar can create a horrible mess and can really SMOKE! LOL! Best to prevent the fire department coming when the neighbors see smoke coming out the kitchen window! ;).
• ***If you prefer, you can also use less cinnamon and vanilla -- but we really enjoy a WOW kinda pie ourselves! ;).
• ENJOY! :).

KELLY'S APPLE PORK CHOPS WITH STUFFING

Steps:

• Make stuffing according to pkg directions, fold in 1 Tbl. apple pie filling and cheddar, set aside.
• Pour rest apple pie filling onto bottom of 13x9 pan (greased.)
• In hot skillet, lightly brown pork chops (seasoned with seasoning salt and pepper) on both sides.
• Place pork chops on top of apples.
• Top each with a mound of stuffing.
• (I loosely pack it a little to make it look nice, making a round ball of it.).
• Sprinkle lightly with a little coarse ground pepper.
• Cover and bake at 350• for 40-45 minutes.
• Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer.
• (*Porkchops ARE done when just barely light pink in center and juices run clear.)**When serving, make sure you scoop with a large spatula, getting underneath the chop to get all the pie filling underneath.
• Hope I explained that right.
