This pie won Grand Champion in the Apple Pie category at the 1992 Okanogan County Fair. The pie looks traditional, but making your own filling gives it a different flair and great taste. Ingredients:
6 cups sliced peeled tart apples (about 5 to 6 medium) |
2 tablespoons water |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches) |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine the apples, water and lemon juice; cook over medium-low heat just until the apples are tender. Remove from the heat and cool (do not drain).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt; add apples and toss to coat. Place bottom pastry in pie plate; add apple mixture. Cover with top pastry; seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top crust.
3. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 35-45 minutes longer or until golden brown. Yield: 6-8 servings.
