Apple Pie Recipe
From Scratch to Oven in 20-Minutes
Start by preheating the oven. By the time it's hot, the pie will be ready to bake.
Flaky, tender crust is " in the bag." This method of rolling the pastry inside a big plastic bag is a modern improvement on the old familiar method of rolling dough between sheets of waxed paper. It allows you to roll out pastry without adding extra flour to keep it from sticking even on a hot, humid day.
8 or 9-inch Double Crust
3/4 cup Shortening
5 tablespoons cold water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 425°. Place shortening, water, flour and salt in food processor bowl. Process just until dough clumps together - about 5 seconds.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a 6-inch pancake. Center one pancake inside a 13 by 15 inch plastic bag. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the countertop to hold the plastic bag in place. Smooth out the bag and begin rolling the pastry from the center out in alternating directions to form an even circle. After every few strokes, lift the top surface of the bag from the dough and smooth it down again flip the bag over and lift the other surface and smooth it down. Continue this "roll, lift, flip" pattern until your circle of dough is about one inch wider than the rim of your pie pan.
Loosen both sides of the plastic bag from the dough and slide the pie pan upside-down into the bag and center it over the circle of dough. Turn the pan and bag over so the dough rests in the pan and slide the pan and dough from the bag. Gently press the pastry into the pan and trim the edges about one half inch beyond the rim.
Filling
1/4 to 3/4 cup sugar (See Variety Note)
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 cups (2 1/2 lbs) thinly sliced, pared tart apples (See Variety Note)
2 tablespoons butter
Variety Note
Exact amount of sugar depends on your taste and what apples you use. We like 1/2 cup sugar with a tart variety such as Jonathan. With sweet varieties such as Golden Delicious and Fuji, 1/4 cup sugar is plenty. Combine two or more varieties for best results.
Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Pare, core, and slice the apples with an apple peeler corer slicer. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices lightly with the sugar mixture then turn the filling into the bottom crust.
Cut the butter in small pieces and dot it over the filling.
Put the remaining dough pancake inside the bag and roll it out using the same "roll, lift, flip" routine. When the top crust is rolled, cut the bag on 3 sides and peel off the top sheet of plastic. Use the remaining sheet of plastic to turn the top crust over the filling, center it, then peel off the plastic. Trim the top crust to 1/2 inch beyond the edge of the pie pan. Fold the top edge under the bottom crust and flute. Cut steam vents in the top crust. Bake about one hour or until the apples are fork-tender and the crust is golden brown

It seems you have a lot of really good answers up there....
This is what I did to make a nice apple dish.
I made some cinamon swirl bread. The more was eaten of the bacon and cheese swirl than the cinamon was, so instead of letting the bread harden and go bad, I cubed it up with some peeled and sliced apple and tossed it into a baking pan with some simple syrup spiced with cinamon and nutmeg (really clears the sinuses) and some dried cranberries. Dusted it with some granulated sugar and baked it at 350 for a half hour or so till the bread was crispy and the apples cooked through. My fiance, Mr. "I'm not picky" himself (yea right), now wants me to make this dish for the holidays.... I need to invest in flour.....
If you have an idea in your head to recreate a dish to add in apples, you'd be supprised how the results come out...
Apples can be used in pork as well, and don't forget about the cider!

1 1/3 cup Buttermilk
3 cup Self-Rising Flour
1 tsp Ginger
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 qt Apples
1 cup Sugar
1 tsp Apple Pie Spice
1 tsp Cinnamon
This recipe is my Mammaw's as described by my cousin Ethel Tackett to the Alleghany Freewill Baptist Auxiliary in Alleghany, Kentucky. It is a little different than I originally remembered but as I read the recipe the flavors all came back to me. Hope you enjoy!
Cream together sugar, molasses and Crisco. Add Eggs and mix well. Add bittermilk and mix. Add soda and ginger to flour; by hand, blend flour into creamed mixture. Pour 1/2 cup of mixture into greased pans. Bake at 400 until until done.
Makes 6 - 8 layers, if using 8-inch pans. Cook apples, sugar and spices together. Stack cake together using apples between each layer.
