There is this Hallmark channel movie that my sister and I bought once at a Blockbuster movie sale . It is about a poor family long ago who longed to celebrate Thanksgiving through various challenges. It is filled with that cozy old-time celebration and that's what I thought of when I made this pie for my first-of-the-season Thanksgiving family event tomorrow.
Cozy, old fashioned, and of course, perfect for Thanksgiving
An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving Apple Pie
Crust Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups Gluten free flour
1/2 tsp Salt
11/3 cups chilled butter
2/3 cup ice water
My secret ingredient: 1/3 cup sugar. Makes the crust a little more sweet and almost like a sugar cookie.
Use half of the crust and roll out the bottom of the pie. Place in the pie plate and fill with the apple slices.
Then Cover the pie in lattice design of choice.
The recipe calls for about 8 Granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced, yet I only used about 6.
Melting Mixture:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup water (minus one tablespoon)
1 Tbs Vanilla
1 Tsp cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
Then mix up these ingredients in a sauce pan on the stove until melted and mixed.
Pour carefully over the pie, making sure to get the liquid in the cracks of lattice dough and into the pie. Some should go over the dough.
Bake Pie at 425 degrees for 15 minutes
Then reduce oven temp to 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes
Let Pie set before serving!
Enjoy this Thanksgiving comfort food and have a wonderful holiday season!
