So, just because Apple Pie is a year-round indulgence for me, I thought I'd share our recipe with you. Just in time for the next holiday - Memorial Day! What's more American than apple pie?
O. Apple Pie
 |
| My first and successful attempt! |
Ingredients:
2 pie crusts (pre-packaged or your favorite recipe)
½ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
6 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
½ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
6 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer. Add cinnamon.
- Place the bottom crust in pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly.
- Gently pour 90% of the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
- Cover with the second crust. Cut two diagonal holes in the crust to allow it to breathe.
- Brush the remaining butter/sugar mixture over the top of the crust. Sprinkle with a bit of granulated sugar.
- Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Take pie out and cover edges of the crust with foil.
- Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
Do yourself a favor, and if you can get it, please eat this pie with this ice cream:
Do you have a special pie or dessert recipe you think you'll make or eat for Memorial Day?

Pretty pie!
I usually make blackberry pie this time of year. My blackberries haven't flowered yet, though... I've worked a lot on the recipe, and I really like it with a little ginger, orange zest, and a little bit of a juiced orange.
Have you ever done lattice work on your pies? I love doing it, and it's darn easy. I want to come down soon. I'll show you how to do it then!
I love to make my carmel apple cupcakes and homemade blueberry muffins this time of year. Or even my lemmon blueberry thyme cupcake/muffins. Oh now I want to go home and bake up a storm
whoops got carried away with the m's there for a second. oh well maybe they will be extra lemony this year.
mmmm LOVE apple pie...and I miss Blue Bell ice cream!! you can't get it north of the mason-dixon line!
I love apple pie! I actually have a pork tenderloin recipe that would go good with a apple pie dessert.
Yum!!! I love apple pie.
We don't have Memorial Day weekend - last weekend was Victoria Day weekend here and I am just back to work today! I actually ate Apple Crisp pie on Sunday at my mom's restaurant and it's DELICIOUS.
My special meal May 2-4 (what we call it here) is chicken noodle soup in the middle of the night at my brother's party. Pretty sure I ate 4 bowls! It's an oddly new tradition.
Apple Pie is my absolute favorite pie of all time. It is so ooey and gooey. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it! My great granny made such a good apple pie, I really regret not asking her for the recipe before she passed :( I can't wait to try this recipe out!!
Mmmm I love apple pie! It reminds me of family gatherings and I always eat it when I'm feeling home sick :)
I might just have to try your recipe out!
