Yesterday for my Nan's 91st birthday I made an apple pie. I used a recipe from Women's Day Magazine. It
was a pretty simple recipe, but I did alter it a little bit. For the
dough I did not use white vinegar, so I used an extra 2 tablespoons of
ice cold water. I let the dough chill for 4 hours. For the apple mixture
I used Red Delicious and New York State apples, orange zest, 3
tablespoons of flour, 4 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
The pie was a little bit watery, so I think I could have used more
flour or I could have rolled the apples in flour before mixing them with
cinnamon-sugar. I decided to put the pie into a 9 inch pie dish because
I wasn't sure how it would turn out without one (like recipe says). It
was a little difficult to fold over 3 inches of the crust, so next time I
don't think I'll use a dish. The pie would have probably been a little
smaller and higher, but more of the crust would have been folded over
the top. I baked the pie for about an hour and had to put tinfoil over
the top for the last 25 minutes to help the apples soften.
