Apple pie recipes

[MOMFUDSKI]

1. I use

as many different kinds as I can gather. I make one huge round crust (from scratch, using half butter and half crisco which makes the crust tasty AND crisp) and lay the crust into the glass pie dish. Put the apple mixture into the dish and fold up the crust leaving a smallish opening at the top. Prevents dripping while baking. I put cinnamon, sugar and a bit of flour into apple mixture and use enough apples to pile them about 5" high. They will fall after baking, leaving the crust still piled high. I call it my country pie. Tip for crust: make it a day ahead and form a patty, wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate overnite which allows the gluten in the flour to develop which aids in rolling out. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
