I made a homemade Apple Pie to die for.

[samplegirl]

Apple season here and Im on a roll to bake pies. Nothing like a good
tart local grown apple.

[Lilyhoney]

1. Mmmmmm,

I like apple pie. With ice cream.

[Floogeldy]

2. Why, why, why do want to torture us?

;)

[samplegirl]

16. if you were my neighbor

you'd get a few. I like giving them as much as
baking them.

[WCGreen]

3. A fellow Buckeye....

Johnny appleseed territory....

Yummm Yummmm...

I haven't had a good old fashioned home made apple pie since grandma died in the late 70's....

[samplegirl]

12. Ah

I make a couple a week.
I give lots of them to friends.

[WCGreen]

18. My newest friend

4. I cant make a decent crust

I like to cook and bake but I have a hard time making a good pie crust. Any hints?

[samplegirl]

5. its going fast

[Ksec]

6. Nice flaky crust

Thanks , now Im hungry.

[RevCheesehead]

7. Buy them ready-made... in the freezer section.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. That's what I do, too!

I tried and tried...to make decent crusts....and failed...


So one day, I said to hell with this, and started buying them...

Never looked back, either......My family can't tell the difference, anyhow......

I love making my own fillings though...:pals:

[RevCheesehead]

23. I've always known you to be kind-hearted.

Now I'm learning that you're wise, too. :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Oh wow, my dear RevCheesehead.......

I kid you not, you just made my day/evening! Thank you so much for your very kind words.....

It means a whole lot to me...especially from you....

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

26. Aw, shucks, ma'am....

I just calls 'em as I sees 'em. :pals:

[samplegirl]

9. i use the same recipe everytime

3cups of flour 1 cup of butter flavored crisco
a tsp. salt.
first your flour and salt then your crisco cut
up...i use my hands.
then 7 to 9 Tbls. of ice cold water
then shape it into a ball cut it in half
and use half for the bottom crust the other half
for the top crust.
I roll it out between wax paper easier to pick it
up that way.
The secret is not to play with the dough long.

If you were here id have you making pies in
no time.

[Ksec]

15. Mine are always too dry

I have bought the ones in the freezer Rev but I wanna be able to make my own. It looks so easy on Emiril.

I think I need to up the water a little.

Thats where I go wrong , I believe. Ill give your recipe a try. Danka.

[samplegirl]

17. Then go for

9 Tbls. of ice cold water i usually put ice cubes
in the water.
but less water in a crust makes a flakier crust.

20. Where do you live? Can we all come over?

My sister always teases me because I use Pillsbury ready made crusts instead of from scratch.

I've never made an apple pie, but I make a pretty good custard pie. My grandmother always made custard pie for me, and I hadn't had one since she died about 30 years ago. Earlier this summer, I decided to teach myself how to make custard pies. Now I'm happy again!

[samplegirl]

21. Sure

i would love to cook for a gang of fellow D.U.ers.
I like to cook and entertain. I especially like
making things from scratch.
I even make my own pasta!

[Fox Mulder]

8. My mom makes a killer apple crisp.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

[Ksec]

10. Ohhh I love those.

Yuuummm

[samplegirl]

13. yeah i like those too

I'll make a few of those too.

[BigMcLargehuge]

14. we just made a dozen jars of spiced peach jam

from the peaches on our tree :)

[samplegirl]

19. Oh yum
