classic new england apple pie pie crust mix (we use jiffy pie crust mix) or homemade. trick is to roll it out as thin as possible makes 10-12" pie preparing the pie plate: butter & flour bottom of pie plate spread bottom crust evenly along the plate apples: tart apples are best (macintosh). peel and slice put apples in dish, pile them high.. heaping sprinkle with cinnamon 1/4 stick of butter (roughly), cut into slices.. half the slices. place around top of apples 1/2 - 1 cup of sugar depending on tartness of the apple (try 1/2 cup first to check sweetness) prepare top crust: roll thin, big enough to cover entire pie flute two crusts together remove excess around edge, pressing edges together brush on milk and sprinkle with sugar place small ring of tinfoil around pie edge to avoid burning oven: preheat to 425F, bake at 425F for 10 minutes, reduce to 350F for 40-45 minutes apples bubbling means it's done. watch to insure it doesn't burn words of wisdom from mom: 'good luck. my first pie... my kitchen was covered in flour'
The baked apples are the easiest to make. The swedish would be second.
The classic apple pie would be the toughest due to the thin crust but it's by far the best.
and only use macs.
