Home Baking - Apple Pie

Fall weather and apples go hand in hand and with more than 20 varieties grown here in Ontario, Canada there is no shortage of apples for baking some delicious apple pie! Trust me, I don't bake very often nor am I very good at it (I'm much better at just eating!) but when I find a recipe that works and one that my family loves I'm all for baking a pie or two! I've tried different apple pie recipes and I've found with a little tweaking, this one seems to be the tastiest. This recipe calls for butter and we all know, everything taste better with butter, right?

Fill pie crust with sliced and peeled apples. I've used Granny Smith apples here as I find they give tartness to the pie. I've also used Tenderflake ready-made pie crust because I've not perfected my own pie crust yet. It's work in progress so if any of you have a recipe to share, please pass it on!

In a suacepan, melt butter and flour together to make a smooth paste.

Add water, white sugar and brown sugar

Mix well and simmer till a smooth consistency.

Sprinkle cinnamon over apples and pour the melted butter mixture over apples. Be careful not to pour the mixture too close to the outer edges of the pie.

Use other pie shell and seal pie making a few cuts on top to allow for the steam to escape. Brush pie with egg mixture.

Bake apple pie for 425F for 15 mins then reduce heat to 350F for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on your oven till apples are soft. Cover pie halfway through baking with foil if it starts getting too brown.

And viola! Delicious freshly baked apple pie! Enjoy!
