Country Apple Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Place crust in 9-inch pie plate.
• Toss apple slices with white sugar, chopped walnuts, 3 tablespoons flour, spices, and salt.
• Transfer mixture to pie.
• Melt butter and mix in oatmeal, 1/3 cup flour, brown sugar.
• Sprinkle crumb mixture over apple filling in pie.
• Cover pie edges with foil to prevent burning for first 25 minutes of baking.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes.
• Remove foil from pie edges after 25 minutes of baking.
• Cool and serve (solo or with ice cream).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425.
• Prepare pastry for Two Crust Pie, 10 inches (food.com recipe #442482). Place the pastry in a deep-dish 9 inch pie pan or a regular 10 inch pie pan.
• Mix all dry ingredients (sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, mace, cloves and salt) in a large bowl.
• Stir in the apples and cover completely with flour mixture. Place the apples in the pastry lined pan.
• Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the heavy cream.
• Cover with the top crust and cut slits to vent steam. Seal the edges of the crust together and flute them.
• Brush the remaining tablespoon of cream over the top.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble up through slits.

Steps:

• Toss apples, 1 cup sugar, and salt in colander set over large bowl. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until apples release their juices, about 30 minutes. Press gently on apples to extract liquid and reserve 3/4 cup juice (any excess may be discarded).
• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees F. Pulse animal crackers and remaining sugar in food processor until finely ground. Dust work surface with cracker mixture. Brush half of one pastry disc with water, overlap with second pastry disc, and dust top with more cracker mixture. Roll out dough to 19 by 14 inches and transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Brush dough with butter and refrigerate; roll out top crust in the same way.
• Toss drained apples with tapioca, cinnamon, and lemon juice and arrange evenly over bottom crust, pressing lightly to flatten. Brush edges of bottom crust with water, and arrange top crust on pie. Press crusts together and use a paring knife to trim any excess dough, leaving a 1/2" rim of pastry; fold pastry under itself and tuck into rim of baking sheet. Use fork to crimp and seal outside edge of pie, then pierce top of pie at 2-inch intervals with fork. Bake until pie is golden brown and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Transfer to wire rack and let cool 1 hour.
• For the glaze: While pie is cooling, simmer 3/4 cup apple juice (which you reserved in step 1) in saucepan over medium heat until syrupy and reduced to 1/4 cup, about 6 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and butter and let cool to room temperature. Whisk in confectioners' sugar and brush glaze evenly over warm pie. Let pie cool completely, at least 1 hour longer. Cut into thirds lengthwise, and into sixths widthwise, making 18 pieces each about 4"x3".
• Make Ahead: The pie can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, butter and egg until crumbly. Press onto the bottom of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Top with pie filling. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over top., Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. In a small bowl combine the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla. Drizzle over warm cake. Serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a pie dish with 1 crust.
• Whisk together cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Stir apples, maple syrup and whole egg into cornstarch mixture.
• Pour apple mixture into the prepared crust. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Whisk together egg yolk and water in a small bowl; brush over the pie. Cover pie loosely with aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking until crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Divide the ball of dough in half, setting one half to the side.
• On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle.
• Place in pie plate; set aside while making the filling.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Place the apples in a large bowl and sprinkle them with the sugar mixture, making sure the apples are thoroughly coated.
• Place the apple mixture in the pie shell, distributing them evenly.
• Dot the filling with the butter.
• Roll out the second half of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle.
• Place over apple filling; crimp the edges of the pie dough together to seal in the filling, and then use a fork to puncture the top of the pie 5 or 6 times.
• Brush the top of the pie and crimped edges with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish.
• To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
• Decrease oven heat to 375 degrees and continue baking for 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
• Insert a cake tester or a knife into the pie to check the firmness of the apples.
• If the apples are still firm, continue baking the pie until they soften.
• The perfect apple pie will have visible juices bubbling around the crust.
• If the top of the crust is getting too brown and the apples are not done yet, cover the pie with foil to allow the apples to bake a big longer without browning the crust too much.
• Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the pie to cool and se t for 1 ½ hours before serving.
• Apple pies are best served either at room temperature or warmed at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
