In honor of national Pi day, here is one of the best recipes I know of. It's my Mom's Apple Pie recipe. My Mom is such a talent in the kitchen! She cooked homemade meals everyday and always encouraged me to learn and create. So thanks Mom!
Mom's Apple Pie
For a 10 inch apple pie
Prepare a pastry for 10 inch two crust apple pie.
Apple Filling:
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
½ t. nutmeg
1 t. cinnamon
Dash of salt
8 cups thinly sliced pared tart apples
3 T. butter or margarine
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare pastry. Stir together sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt; mix with apples. Turn apples into pastry-lined pie pan; dot with butter. Cover with top crust. Make slits in the crust to allow steam to escape. Seal and flute the top. Cover edges with 2-3 inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning of the edges. Remove foil the last 15 minutes of baking. Bake for 40-50 minutes until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through the slits in the top. (You may want to put a large cookie sheet on the rack below the pie, incase it drips the sugary mixture.)
Thanks for the kind words Leslie. Love you, Mom
Yay for mom’s recipes! Hers are always delicious. . 🙂
