Recipe: Apple Pie

 Is there any better dessert than a piece of homemade apple pie?  Not in my opinion!  

This is the perfect time of year to visit an orchard or local Farmer's Market for some delicious apples and make yourself an apple pie!  It really is simple and nothing can beat the taste.

This is a recipe from Oregon Heritage Farms that we used.

Apple Pie

Filling:

2 1/2 lbs. apples (5-6 medium to large)

3/4 cup sugar

2-3 tbsp. flour

1 tbsp. lemon juice

1/2 - 1 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp. salt

Separate ingredients:

2 tbsp. unsalted butter

2 tsp. sugar

1/8 tsp. cinnamon

9-inch pie crust

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch pieces.

Measure 6 cups apples and combine with 3/4 cup sugar, flour, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and salt.  Let stand for 15 minutes, stirring several times, so the apples soften slightly and fit into a 9-inch pie crust.

Pour mixture into pie crust and dot top with 2 tbsp. butter.  Cover with the top crust, seal edge, trim, crimp, or flute.  Cut steam vents in the top crust and sprinkle with 2 tbsp. sugar and 1/8 tsp. cinnamon.
