Deluxe Apple Pie

Hi, Sweet Friends,

We are making a delicious Deluxe Apple Pie made with fresh Pink Ladies & Fuji Apples.

This delectable Apple Pie filling is from " "

And the crust is a basic pie crust recipe from 

"Betty Crocker".

Crust Ingredients:

• 2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup cold shortening or if you prefer, substitute cold butter, cut into ½-inch pieces, for half of the shortening.
• 6 to 8 tablespoons ice-cold water
• Pastry blender or fork
• Plastic wrap
• Rolling pin
• Knife or kitchen shears
• 9-inch glass pie plate

Filling Ingredients:

4 Cups diced apples, peeled
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 Cup sugar
4 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 Tablespoons cinnamon
1 Cup water or Apple Juice

Decrease the amount of Cinnamon if you like less. We like cinnamon and Hubby adds the full 2 Tablespoons.
Directions:

Read the directions on how to make a double crust pie HERE at BettyCrocker.com

Filling:

Sprinkle the lemon juice over the cut & peeled apples in a saucepan.

• Mix the sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, and cinnamon together and add to the apples in the saucepan.

• Mix well enough that all the apples are coated with the mixture.

• Microwave the water or juice for 2 minutes in the microwave. This WILL be HOT! Take out with pot holders.

• Add the very hot water or juice to the saucepan.

• Cook, stirring constantly until mixture and apples have thickened.

• Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool. (refrigerate for better results)

• Fill the well chilled 9-inch pastry lined pan with chilled pie filling.
  • Cover with the top crust and pinch the edges to keep the filling inside.
  • Bake on the lowest rack in the oven at 425° for 10 minutes.
  • Move the pie to the center rack in the oven until bubbling for about 20 more minutes. 
  • Let the pie cool completely for 3 hours or more (However, 2 hours is plenty, if you like a warm pie with Vanilla Ice Cream!)

Enjoy!
