Paso Robles Loves this Pie
One of the great things about living in Paso Robles is the large circle of friends you quickly acquire – maybe it’s all that wonerful Paso Robles Wine! Before you know it, pot-lucks and barbeques are also a part of life. My friends love this apple pie – give it a try at your next Paso Robles good time.
The holidays are still 2 months away, but I thought I would share with you my recipe for old-fashioned apple pie so you can try it before the big event. I have been preparing this recipe for friends since the late 1970′s, and I always get fabulous compliments on it. The recipe is easy but looks like you slaved over it. I used to make my crust from scratch, but the new pie crusts already rolled out in boxes (Pillsbury or Vons) works just fine. No one will ever know the difference….
Pastry for a 2-crust pie
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons flour
Dash of salt
5 Granny Smith or Pippin Apples sliced and pared
4 tablespoons of butter in pieces
1 egg yoke mixed with a little water
- Put 1 pastry roll into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- In large bowl combine sugar, cinnamon, flour & salt mixing well.
- Add sliced apples to bowl tossing lightly to combine.
- Turn into refrigerated pastry-lined pie plate mounding high in center.
- Place broken pieces of butter on top of sliced apples.
- Place 2nd pastry on top of pie, turn under sides and crimp edges decoratively.
- Make several slits near the center for steam vents.
- Mix 1 egg yolk with a little water. Lightly brush mixture over the top of the pie avoiding edges.
- Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.
- Cool partially on a wire rack. Serve warm alone or with French Vanilla Ice Cream.
ENJOY!
