Evelyn Herring of Laguna Woods, California, writes: My mother was raised in Scotland and learned to cook at a time when quality ingredients were hard to come by. She had to be imaginative, often substituting ingredients and improvising recipes. My own cooking has become Americanized over the years, but I still rely on her recipes. They're easy and always taste as good as the first time I tried them. Crushed gingersnap cookies, marmalade, and raisins set this pie apart from the American version. Ingredients:
2 refrigerated pie crusts (one 15-ounce package), room temperature |
1 1/2 pounds granny smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/3-inch cubes |
9 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1/2 cup gingersnap cookie crumbs |
1/3 cup orange marmalade |
1/3 cup golden raisins |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1 tablespoon whipping cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with 1 pie crust. Mix apples, 8 tablespoons sugar, cookie crumbs, marmalade, raisins, and orange peel in large bowl. Spoon filling into crust-lined dish. Top with remaining crust. Press crust edges together to seal; crimp edge decoratively. Cut 1-inch hole in center. 2. Blend cream and 1 tablespoon sugar in small bowl; brush over crust. Bake pie until crust is golden and filling bubbles thickly, about 45 minutes. Serve warm. |
