As a follow-up to my last post, I wanted to share the recipe my mother and I used to make apple pies from the apples we picked at Lewis Farm Market over the weekend. We found a recipe that seemed sweet and simple here!
Grandma Ople's Apple Pie
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 granny smith apples - peeled, cored, sliced (we used Macintosh)
- 9 inch pie pan
Directions:
Peel, core, and slice up your apples. (We used my mom's apple-peeler-corer-slicer, which worked phenomenally)
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 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 degrees F (220 degrees C). Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.
