Answer 1

Yes, you can use Fuji apples

Basic Pie Crust
Serving Size : 2 9-inch pie crusts

2-1/4 cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Sugar
10 tablespoons Chilled butter, lard or shortening -- cut small pieces
4-1/2 tablespoons Ice water

Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl. Add butter or lard and cut into flour using your fingers, a pastry blender or 2 knives, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in water with a fork, 1 tablespoon at a time and work in with your hands until dough is just moist enough to come together in a smooth ball. You may not need to use all the water. Be careful not to overwork or dough will be tough.

If you're making 2 crusts, cut in half and shape each half into a flattened round. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Remove 1 round of dough from refrigerator and place on a lightly-floured surface. Roll into a circle about 14 inches across and 1/8-inch thick. Gently fold dough in half, then in half again so that you can lift it without tearing, and unfold it into a 9-inch pie or tart pan.

Crimp edges or pinch in a decorative border. Fill and bake as directed in recipe. Dough may be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated, or frozen.

Apple Pie
8 servings

Pastry for 9’’ two crust pie
3/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 cups thinly sliced, pared, tart apples
2 tablespoons butter

Heat thr oven to 425ºF.

Prepare pastry and line pie pan.

Mix dry ingredients together. Stir in apples. Pour into pastry lined pie pan. Dot with butter or margarine. Cover with top crust, cut slits, seal and flute edges. Bake until crust is light brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in top, about 40 to 50 minutes.

Answer 2

First wash, slice and peel your apples, better off using a Granny Smith because they are more tart and firm. Put them in a large bowl and put brown sugar, cinnamon, 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla, 2 Tabelspoons flour, and some lemon juice and toss the apples. There is no set measurment for this, just eyeball it.

For the pastry, make sure it is not hot or humid out, or you will have problems with it. So put the air conditioning on and use a marble slab or a cool counter top to work your dough on.

1 cup of Crisco (shortening)
1/4 cup of cold water
2-3 Tablespoons of vinegar (cider or white)
2 Tablespoons of sugar
2-3 cups of flour ( add gradually, you might not need all of it or you might need more)

Mix all the ingredients together until it is no longer sticky to the touch. Divide into two equal parts, this is a double crust recipe.

On a floured surface roll out one section of dough until it covers the inside of the pie pan, and leaves a little of an edge.

Toss your apples again and fill the pastry shell with the apples and their juices. Scatter butter pieces over the filling.

Roll out second pastry and lay it on top of the apple. Pinch edges together and trim off any excess with a knife or scissors. Using a knife, cut slices into the top of the crust, only like three or four. Do them decorativly, or just make and X in the top of the crust. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the top

Put into oven set at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or untill top is golden brown.

Answer 3

There are ready to bake pie shells at any store. Comstock apple pie filling in the canned fruit section is good. Just add a sprinkle of cinnamon and maybe a little brown sugar. I just noticed that you are from Asia ,so I do not know if you can get these convenience items. If not, Granny Smith (green in color) or any tart apple is best. Just mix in sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon to taste after you cook the apples with a little water for awhile. As far as advice on how to make a pie shell, my only advice is to make sure the dough is cold before you roll it out. Try BHG.com for recipes. That stands for a magazine named Better Homes and Gardens.

Answer 4

The easiest way to make an apple pie is to purchase frozen pie crust and canned apple pie filling. Pie crust is one of the great challenges of even accomplished cooks, and to make it properly, one must use lard and some special kitchen tools (ricer). I take great pride in my culinary skills, but I have yet to make a better crust than that which is found prepared and frozen.

Apple pie filling is a shortcut, but a logical one for someone not familiar with the finer points of cooking. You can "make it your own" by adding a little cinnamon or a handful of raisins, but the filling, as it pours out of the can, is really pretty good.

If you want to be extra creative and a little exotic, use Fillo dough instead of frozen pie crust.

Answer 6

tart firm apples are best for baking so they don't go to mush when cooked. Pastry isn't as hard as people make it out to be, but do you have ready made pie crusts available in the refriderated section of the grocery? They are really good and save a lot of time and energy.
