Answer 1

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

"This was my grandmother's apple pie recipe. I have never seen another one quite like it. It will always be my favorite and has won me several first place prizes in local competitions. I hope it becomes one of your favorites as well!"

INGREDIENTS:
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.

Answer 2

6 cups thinly sliced apples
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie

DIRECTIONS
Prepare your pastry for a two crust pie. Wipe, quarter, core, peel, and slice apples; measure to 6 cups.
Combine sugar and cinnamon. The amount of sugar used depends on how tart your apples are.
Arrange apples in layers in pastry lined pie plate. Sprinkle each layer with sugar and cinnamon. Dot top layer with small pieces of butter or margarine. Cover with top crust.
Place on lowest rack in oven preheated to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes longer. Serve warm or cold.

Answer 3

OLGA's PIE CRUST

4 cups flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cup Crisco Shortening
1/2 cup cold water
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 egg

Stir the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium size bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl beat together water, vinegar and egg. Add to flour mixture until the dough comes together.

Gently gather dough particles together into a ball. Wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes. Divide into 4 balls. Lightly flour sides of the ball and roll out on lightly floured board or pastry cloth. Makes two 9-inch double-crust pies.

Note: Dough can be refrigerator up to 3 days. It can be frozen until ready to use; thaw until soft enough to roll.

OLGA's APPLE PIE

6 cups Cortland apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
dash nutmeg
dash salt
1/4 cup flour
2 Tablespoons butter

Wash, peel, core and slice apples, toss apple slices in a large bowl with lemon juice to prevent darkening.

In a small bowl combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, flour. Pour over apple slices and stir to mix well.

Arrange apple slices in pastry-lined pie pan. Dot with butter and place top crust on pie, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in the top to permit steam to escape.

Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Continue baking at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until apples test soft with a fork and the crust is golden brown.

Place a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil on lower rack in oven to catch drippings.
