Sul Sul, Gerbits. Today we are going to be making a recipe that I have made for many years. I used to make this recipe with my mom every Harvestfest. I feel like I have this recipe memorized.
Even to say that I have to have the recipe right next to me. Because I sometimes read the recipe, even though I know it multiple times. Because I don’t want to mess it up, in any way.
We are going to be making a Betty Crocker Apple Pie, with her pie crust. And both recipes will be in the description down below.
The first thing we are going to do is make our two crusts.
Measure out your flour and salt, mix them then cut in your shortening with a pastry blender or a fork.
Add your water 1 tablespoon at a time. Gather the pie crust, and on a lightly floured surface, gather it into a ball.
Cut the pie crust in half, shaping both of them into balls. Placing plastic wrap over both pie crusts.
Place them in the freezer until you need them for the recipe.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
The first thing you are going to do is slice your apples. You can slice them thinly or you can dice them thinly. Whichever is easier for you and your family to eat it. Have a bowl of water handy. Place the slices in the water so that they do not brown. Place them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, you are going to mix your dry ingredients. Which includes your sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Next, you are going to add your apples. DO NOT add the water that the apples were bathing in. That was just to help them stay crisp when waiting to be added to the pie.
Roll out the bottom pie crust and place it in the pan.
Spoon the apple mixture into the pie crust.
Cut the butter into small pieces and sprinkle them on top of the apples. This is to give flavor to the apples, and the top crust.
Now onto the top layer. For this pie, I wanted to experiment with a lattice top. Which was kinda scary for me. So, I wanted to say that I did it.
To do the lattice top you have to roll out the pie crust as you did with the bottom crust. However, you want to measure out ½ inch strips.
Getting them straight as you can. Start at one end of the pie pan. And start weaving the lattice top. Once you start, you will understand how it works.
Don’t be afraid of having to start over. I think I started over 2 or 3 times. But then again, I am kinda a perfectionist when it comes to baking.
Once you have the top on, brush the top with water and sprinkle some sugar on the top.
Wow! This was so good. I was so happy with how pretty it turned out. My advice to you is if you have something that you want to do, that is not harming yourself or anyone else, go for it. You never know what you can accomplish when you have a goal in mind.
