AMISH PLAIN APPLE PIE
Ingredients
Stirring constantly, bring to a boil 3/4 cup cool
water mixed with 2 tablespoon corn starch,
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoon butter,
3/4 teaspoon lemon juice,
1/3 teaspoon salt,
Pinch of nutmeg,
1/3 teaspoon cinnamon powder.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
Stir rapidly with a wood spoon until
mixture comes to a full boil and thickens,
remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract.
Let mixture cool for 20 minutes then mix
it with 4 cups thin sliced baking apples
(5 peeled baking apples like Granny Smith
brand) let cool another 15 minutes.
Spoon mixture into an un-baked deep dish pie crust in a 9" pie pan, cover the top with another dough crust. Pinch the dough ends together to seal and make a few slits (+) on top crust. Lightly glaze by brushing top of pie with a beaten egg, then sprinkled with a little white sugar. Bake at 425-F for 12 minutes then turn down oven to 375-F. Bake until the apples are soft and bubbling is coming through the slits (about 35-45 minutes). Tent pie with tinfoil if edges are browning too fast and turn down oven temperature slightly.
-------------------------------------------------------------
TIPS; To keep pie crust from being puffy. Cut several slits (+) in the top crust, which will allow vapor to escape through the crust during baking.
To keep pie crust from turning dark brown, lower the oven temperature, center the pie crust in the oven using the middle-rack position, reduce the baking time.
Did You Know?
Apples refrigerated in a plastic bag should maintain freshness for up to six weeks. Avoid storing them near other produce as they emit an ethylene gas which accelerates ripping. Use this process to your advantage by placing unripe produce with an apple in a pierced paper bag until the produce matures.
