Dani's Apple Pie, preserved in the Brown Family Cookbook 2020.

01

Ingredients

  • Crust: (makes top & bottom crust)
  • Filling:
  • 1 ¾ Cups Flour
  • 5 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored,
  • ½ tsp salt & sliced
  • ½ Cup Mazola Corn Oil
  • ½ Cup Sugar
  • ¼ Cup ice water
  • 4 rounded soup spoons of flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

02

Method

  1. 01

    Mix Flour and salt together for crust. Add oil and ice water. Mix until you have the nice pie crust consistency, add more ice water if necessary. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of wax paper with a large dinner glass (my Grandma’s trademark) and place in pie dish. Prick a few holes in the bottom crust.

  2. 02

    Mix together apple slices, sugar, flour, and cinnamon and promptly taste 3-4 slices. This is how it is done. Now Robbie will come raid the bowl but you need to protect those apples for the pie! Fill the pie crust as high as a skyscraper- the higher the better! Place 4 pads of butter on top of apples.

  3. 03

    Roll out the other crust between 2 sheets of wax paper and cut slits in the top. Lay on top of apple skyscraper and drape edges over the sides. Press edges of pie together and tear off excess. It’s all about the presentation! Brush top crust with milk and lightly sprinkle sugar on top.
