Answer 2

I assume you either have a good recipe for crust already, or you do like I do, which is to buy the crust from the refrigerator section at the grocery store. Here is what I do to make apple pie filling. Now, I'm too lazy to peel them, but most people do. (My boyfriend is gracious enough to say that he likes the texture of the pie with the peels in, and really, even with the peels a homemade pie is wayyyyyyy better than anything store-bought.) I like them less sugary, more cinnamon-y. In a small bowl, I mix 3 tbs corn starch, 1/2 c sugar or Splenda, 1 tbs cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg. Peel and cut up 7-9 apples. In a large mixing bowl stir the apples and the dry ingredients together until the apples are coated. Put the bottom pie crust in the pie pan. Poke some holes in it with a fork. Add the apples - don't worry if it looks like you have a mountain of apples, they cook down a lot as they bake. Add about three pats of butter on top of the apples. Put the top crust on, pinch to seal it to the bottom crust. Poke several holes in the top crust to let steam escape. Brush on some milk. Bake in 425 degrees Farenheit for 50 minutes. My mom's apple pie was easier - she just stirred a can of jellied cranberry sauce into the apples, and put it in the crust.

If your apples are more tart than sweet then an apple crumble is far easier to make than a pie crust - no rolling out or kneading! Plus you can make a crumble as deep or large as you want. Also you can turn it into a crisp by adding oats to the topping. Then all you'll need is some warm custard - yum! You can make cakes and muffins with apples too. To use large volumes of apples though your best bet would probably be to make your own applesauce, you can then freeze or can it and it will be at your disposal throughout the winter months for all your baking needs. Applesauce makes a great substitute for eggs or shortening if you run out of those things while baking. Any of the big recipe sites like allrecipes or recipezaar or food network will have lots of info for you and you can surf for eggless baking recipes if that interests you. Hope that helps.

Answer 4

French apple pie (i made it the other day and it turned out great!! super easy)
You Will Need:
3/4 tp 1 cup sugar
6 cups sliced apples (Granny smith work great!, take off the skin and chop into thin slices, each apple made about one cup for me so you should by at least six)
1 Tsp. Cinnamon
Butter
Combine sugar, cinnamon and apples. If you prefer a less juicy pie, add 2 tablespoons flour to the filling. pour into pastry lined pie pan and dot with butter ( i used about 1/2 teaspoon pre dot, and about 15 dots)
Now for the crumb topping:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
cream butter and sugar; cut in flour. sprinkle mixture on top of pie. bake 10 minutes at 450 redcuce temp to 375 and continue to bake pie untill apples are tender, 40 -45 min
Notes from me:
the crumb topping wont be a crumb texture untill baked
in the crumb topping i used a little bit more flour because i had a hard time making it into a crumb topping

Granny Hardie's Apple Pie

Pour remaining dry mixture over the apples, evenly. Take the 2nd crust and put over the pie. Flute edges and cut off extra with a sharp knife. Stick about 3 holes in the top of pie to vent. Bake on a cookie sheet at 300* until top is golden brown.

Answer 6

Since you appear to have an abundance of apples there are several things you can do. You can peel and core the apples slice them into strips and put them in salt water (keeps them from turning brown). After you have several done, you can drain well and put in zip-lock freezer bags to freeze for making fried apples later or make them then:

Here is the recipe for Fried Apples: They are wonderful as a side dish.

8-10 medium Apples, peeled, cored and sliced into thin slices
2 T. Butter
1/2 c. water
2 T. sugar
Cinnamon to taste
Nutmeg to taste

Put butter, water, sugar into iron skillet. Heat until hot. Add peeled, cored and sliced apples. Cover and cook on medium high 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cinnamon and/or nutmeg to taste. If apples are too tart, add more sugar. Cook apples to desired tenderness. Serve warm. Yields 4 - 6 servings.

You might also want to try these Apple "Tarts"

1 can Grands (or like sized) biscuits
1 c. apple pie filling or 2-3 sliced, peeled fresh apples
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 c. sugar
2-3 T. margarine
1 c. shredded cheese (optional)

With fingers, spread biscuits out into 6 inch circles. Place 2 T apple pie filling or apple slices to top of bisxut to within 1/4 in of edge. Springle with cinnamon/sugar mix to taste. Dot with butter or margarine. Bake as directed until biscuit is golden brown. Brush buttor over biscuit before putting on fruit for a richer taste. Top with cheese, if desired. Serve warm.

I thought these might provide a new spin on an old favorite - Apples. A little different than your standard apple pie, apple crumb cake, etc. If you opt to freeze some apples, they are wonderful to fix during colder weather. Enjoy!

Answer 8

Rustic Apple Pie

Pie crust – your favorite recipe or store bought
3 or 4 large Golden Delicious/Fiji apples; peeled, cored and sliced 1/8 to ¼ thick
¼ c granulated sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Butter

Preheat oven to 375°.

In a bowl, mix the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg completely.

On a lightly floured surface roll dough into a circle, or separate and roll out two circles (thin or thick depending on preference), place small pats of butter on dough, pile apples on dough dotting with butter in between the layers. Finish with pats of butter. Fold the dough up and seal if possible.

Bake for 45 minutes in the middle of the oven.

Top with whipped cream or ice cream.


NOTE: I prefer to make more individual portions and bake them the night you want to serve them, just follow the recipe and divide the dough and apples evenly.

NOTE: You can also brush butter on the outside and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar before baking.

To make apple pie. Peel your apples and slice. Put small amount of lemon juice to prevent drying. Mix 1 egg, cinnamon, nutmeg,brown sugar, cloves and cardamon (opt) Stir all together and bake at 350 degrees till done (dough is nicely brown)

Bake at 350 till done.

applesauce: cook apples with a little lemon juice with cinnamon, brown sugar, nutmeg,salt and cook till well done. Mash with whisk. Depending on how hard and long will determine the constantly of the sauce

Answer 10

Make or buy a great crust.
Peel and core apples.
Toss with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger.
Place in pastry.
Place top crust.
Bake until crust is brown and flaky in a hot oven.
(Hint: pies like to boil over; put your pie on a cookie sheet when in the oven so you don't spend the rest of the day cleaning the oven.)
Eat hot or cold (the traditional is hot with a huge chunk of cheddar cheese) but you could have it cold, al a mode!
