Recipe: Apple Pie...And the secret to a great pie!

My daughter had been begging me to bake an apple pie together. I finally got the ingredients and we made it on a Sunday afternoon! Let me tell you, apple pies are SO much work but SO worth it!

I recently got a new baking tool and I wanted to try it out...oh my word! I have to say that using this tool was the best decision in making the best apple pie I have ever made! It is a Le Creuset Stoneware Pie Bird Funnel. I got mine on Amazon for $12.95 and they have a variety of different colors!

I had never heard or seen this before even though I guess they have been around a long time. My opinion: Game changer! It was the best apple pie I ever made!

It releases the steam and helps from the crust getting soggy. No more slits, no more soggy crust and no more pie filling bubbling up and over!

Isn't it pretty? It tasted even better!

Here's the recipe for apple pie...

Apple Pie

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 tbsp. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

6-7 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples

1 tbsp. lemon juice

Pastry for double crust 9 in pie

1 tbsp. butter

1 large egg white

Additional white sugar

In a small bowl, combine the sugars, spices and flour. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat.

Line a 9 inch pie pan with bottom crust. Fill with apple mixture; dot with butter. Roll remaining crust to fit top of pie pan; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges.

Beat egg white until foamy. Brush over crust. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edges loosely with foil.

Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until crust is golden brown. 20-25 minutes longer.

Cool on wire rack and enjoy!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27
