Old Fashioned Apple Cider Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a bowl combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Place mixture in a pastry-lined 9 inch pie plate. Dot with butter and adjust top crust that has been vented.
• Place in oven and bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Turn oven temperature down to 275-300 degrees F (135-150 degrees C) and bake 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Let cool and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee into two 1/8-inch-thick circles to a diameter slightly larger than that of an 11-inch plate. Press one pastry circle into the pie plate. Place the other circle on waxed paper, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill all pastry until firm, about 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon zest and juice, spices, and flour. Toss well. Spoon apples into pie pan. Dot with butter, and cover with remaining pastry circle. Cut several steam vents across top. Seal by crimping edges as desired. Brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with additional sugar.
• Bake until crust is brown and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool on wire rack before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Combine cider and sugar in large, heavy sauce pan and bring to boil.
• 2. Add apples and cook uncovered until apples are tender (about 8 minutes)
• 3. Drain reserving syrup. If necessary, add enough cider to syrup to make 1 1/3 -1 1/2 cups.
• 4. Return apples and syrup to pan and return to heat. Blend together cornstarch and water and add to apple mixture along with cinnamon.
• 5. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
• 6. Spoon filling into pie shell and cover with upper pastry and flute edges. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Vent crust.
• 7. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a pie tin according to the pie dough directions, lining the bottom of the tin.
• 2. Place the apples and cider in a pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the apples are soft and plump, about 20 minutes.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• 4. Add the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. stir to combine, and continue cooking for 10 more minutes. The apples should absorb most of the liquid. Pour the apples into the pie shell. Dot with pieces of the butter.
• 5. Roll out the second crust. Cut into lattice strips, either plain or with a ruffled edge. Weave the strips over the apple filling to form a lattice.
• 6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 9-inch pie plate. Lay 1 sheet phyllo dough on clean surface. Place slightly damp kitchen towel over remaining dough to keep from drying out. With pastry brush, lightly brush with melted butter. Lay another sheet phyllo on top of buttered sheet, lightly butter. Repeat until all 8 layers are buttered, using 6 tablespoons of the butter. Place phyllo dough into the prepared pan, pressing it along bottom and sides. Trim the edges. Sprinkle walnuts over bottom of crust. In medium bowl beat together maple sugar, maple syrup, jelly, remaining 8 tablespoons butter, and eggs. Pour egg mixture over walnuts. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until filling is set. Serve chilled.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425*.
• Peel, core, and thinly slice apples.
• In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• add sugar mixture and lemon juice to apples tossing gently to combine.
• mound apple mixture into crust.
• press down gently.
• Fold the edges of the top crust under the bottom crust; crimping edges.
• In a small bowl whisk together egg and cold water; set aside.
• Bake pie for 20 minute
• Reduce oven temp to 375* and bake another 30 minute.
• Brush top of crust with egg mix and bake another 10 minute.

Steps:

• Pare, core and slice apples 1/4" thick and toss with lemon juice to keep from turning dark.
• Note: 20oz is a kind of apple and the best I have found for this recipe.
• Blend sugars, flour and spices.
• Toss sugar mixture together with apples and mix.
• Pile apples into unbaked pie shell and dot with butter; Add top crust and score top to allow steam to escape.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saute pan set over medium-high heat and add apples to the pan. Stir to coat fruit with butter and cook, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, whisk together the spices, salt and 3/4 cup sugar, and sprinkle this over the pan, stirring to combine. Lower heat and cook until apples have started to soften, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle the flour and cornstarch over the apples and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, add cider vinegar, stir and scrape fruit mixture into a bowl and allow to cool completely. (The fruit mixture will cool faster if spread out on a rimmed baking sheet.)
• Place a large baking sheet on the middle rack of oven and preheat to 425. Remove one disc of dough from the refrigerator and, using a pin, roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is roughly 12 inches in diameter. Fit this crust into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming it to leave a .5-inch overhang. Place this plate, with the dough, in the freezer.
• Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface until it is roughly 10 or 11 inches in diameter.
• Remove pie crust from freezer and put the cooled pie filling into it. Cover with remaining dough. Press the edges together, trim the excess, then crimp the edges with the tines of a fork. Using a sharp knife, cut three or four steam vents in the top of the crust. Lightly brush the top of the pie with egg wash and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of sugar.
• Place pie in oven and bake on hot baking sheet for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375. Continue to cook until the interior is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes more. Remove and allow to cool on a windowsill or kitchen rack, about two hours.
