Autumn Bliss


There's nothing quite like pulling a perfect apple pie from the oven on a wet November evening. My tips for the best apple pie:
  1. Slice your apples very thinly.
  2. Use lots of cinnamon and a little nutmeg.
  3. Make your crust from scratch--and by hand! No food processors. You will get the most tender crust this way.
  4. Don't forget to dot the filling with butter before putting on the top crust.
  5. Start baking at 425F for 15 minutes, then lower oven temp to 375F and bake until bubbling.

And for optimum enjoyment, see if you can cook up a rainy November day...

Oh, you made my mouth water. Added to the "to do" list for tomorrow (our day is ending here): make apple pie.

The weather forecast is calling for a chilly, rainy day tomorrow to boot!

Mary said...

Wow! The pie looks scrumptious! I must make one.

I do #1-3. I don't do #4, but I don't use a top crust I use some Streusel. Next time I make an apple pie I'll have to try #5. I'd like to add an item to your list, if I may:
#6 Use good firm, tart apples(I use Granny Smith)

I did a blog on my apple pie recipe, heres the address if you want to check it out.
