1. Scrumptious Apple Pie

PRINT THE RECIPE HERE

A Scrumptious Deep Dish Apple Pie Recipe #ApplePie #DeepDishApplePie #FrenchApplePie #ScrumptiousApplePie

This scrumptious Apple Pie recipe was created by Annette’s Aunt Grace and has been passed down for three generations. It shows up every Thanksgiving, and some of our kids (and Steve too) request it for their birthday dessert. There is nothing more American than apple pie!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Double Pie Crust
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 7 to 8 large apples (we use a mixture of 3 varieties of apples with one always being Granny Smith apples) Cut each apple into 12 slices (wedges)
  • 1 Tbs Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • Dash of Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 Tbs Minute Tapioca
  • 1 1/2 Tbs Flour

Directions:

Before cutting apples, prepare the bottom crust and place in the pie plate. Take one egg and beat until foamy. With a pastry brush, brush egg onto the pie crust and let it dry while preparing apples. This is a very important step to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

In a large bowl toss apples and lemon juice.

In a second bowl mix the remainder of the ingredient list.

Pour the dry ingredients over the apples and stir until coated thoroughly.

Layer the apples in the pie shell/ plate, piece by piece to fit as many as possible and with as little air space as possible.

Cut up 2 TBS of margarine into pea-sized pieces and dot all over apples.

Place top crust on apples and brush with egg mixture. This will make the crust a beautiful golden brown.

Bake for 60 minutes at 400 degrees

Optional Topping instead of Crust – French Apple Pie Crumb Topping

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 Cup Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 5 to 6 Tbs Melted Crisco or Margarine

Directions:

Mix ingredients together in a bowl until they turn into big clumps of gooey goodness. This recipe can be doubled if you need more crumb mixture.

Spread on top of apple mixture.

Cover the entire pie with aluminum foil and cook for 40 minutes at 400 degrees.
Remove the foil and cook for an additional 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the crumb topping to turn golden brown.


2. Fresh Glazed Strawberry Pie

A Fresh Glazed Strawberry Pie Recipe No Leftovers! #FreshStrawberryPie #GlazedStrawberryPie #StrawberryPie

Our daughter Becky found this delicious recipe for Fresh Glazed Strawberry Pie . . . It is so good we rarely have anything left over!

Ingredients:

  • 4 Oz Cream Cheese
  • 9-inch pie crust cooked
  • 3 Pounds of Strawberries total
    • (Dice 3 Cups of Strawberries for glaze / Quarter the rest for the pie filling)
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 1⁄2 TBS Corn Starch
  • 3⁄4 Cup White Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1⁄4 Cup Brown Sugar

Directions:

Cook the pie crust.

Soften the Cream Cheese, add Vanilla and Brown Sugar. Mix well. Coat the pie crust with softened cream cheese.

Glaze: Cut up and crush 3 cups of strawberries and add water. Cook together until strawberries turn to mush. Strain juice and save. Use mashed strawberries in smoothies or for strawberry cream cheese. Mix saved juice with Corn Starch and White Sugar. Boil until thick and clear. Add red food coloring if you want to.

Place cut-up strawberries in pie crust. Slowly pour glaze over the top of the strawberry mixture and chill.

You may need to make a second pie to avoid the riot that will occur if there isn’t enough to go around for seconds.

Optional: Use a Graham Cracker Crust if you prefer (we do!)
