Hello people! (Do not forget to turn subtitles on!)
This recipe is from my husband’s side of the family. It was one of his grandparents’ recipes.
I have been assured that I will never get it perfect but that is ok because no one has been able to make it the way the grandparents were able to . That leads me to believe they had a secret ingredient no one knows about.
I have made some changes over the years but I will highlight those changes and the original recipe instructions in the recipe below.
Regardless it makes an excellent tasting pie. Try it for yourselves!
Apple Pie Recipe
Apples 6-8 (granny smith are the best)
Sugar 2c
Flour or Cornstarch 2-6T (original recipe says 2T of flour I use 5T of cornstarch or it seems to be too wet for my tastes)
Nutmeg to taste
Cinnamon to taste
Butter 4-5 T(original recipe says 4T)
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel, core, and slice apples into chunks.
Combine sugar and thickener (flour or cornstarch).
Pour sugar mixture over apples. (I then pre cook over a medium high stovetop for 15-20 min to release and thicken some of the liquid. The original recipe does not have this step.)
Add 1-2 T more cornstarch into bottom of pie crust (not in original recipe)
Pour apple mixture into unbaked pie crust.
Sprinkle nutmeg and cinnamon to taste over filling.
Cut butter into chunks and place on the top of the filling.
Cover with upper pie crust and seal tight.
Cut large vent holes to prevent over flow.
Sprinkle sugar over top of the crust.
Place a cookie sheet underneath pie tin in oven.
Bake for 15 min then lower the heat to 325 degrees F and bake for another 45 min.
Serve with vanilla ice-cream.
Pie will be more watery than modern pies.
