Country Gal pointed out my blog is light on desserts...
Enjoy her gracious share of an amazing apple pie!
Ingredients:
- 6oz. Apple juice concentrate unsweetened
- 2 T corn starch
- 6-8 cups thin sliced apples (I use red delicious or gala — I also use 8 cups as I love a lot of apples)
- ¼ t nutmeg
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1 T butter
- 2 crust pie crust (I use Pillsbury Ready Crust)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425*. Put one pie crust in pie plate, set
aside.
Peel and slice the apples and place in a large bowl. In a
smaller bowl combine corn starch, nutmeg, cinnamon and butter.
In a small pot bring apple juice concentrate to a
boil, add spice mixture to boiling juice and blend well. Pour over apples
and stir to coat all apples slices.
Add apple slices to bottom pie crust, place second crust
on top and press edges to seal. Cut small slits in the crust to vent and bake
for first 30 minutes at 425*. Reduce heat to 375* and bake for 30 minutes
longer. Remove from oven and let cool.
I bake mine on the lowest rack for the first 30
minutes, then move up to the center rack for the last 30 minutes. This makes
for a brown and flaky bottom crust.
Blessed be… and happy cooking!
