Apple Of Her Eye Pie Recipes

Steps:

• For pastry: Combine flour, sugar, mustard and salt.
• Cut in butter and shortening with a pastry blender.
• Stir in cheese.
• Sprinkle in water, 2 tablespoons at a time, tossing with a fork until dough can be gathered in a ball.
• Knead, divide into slightly unequal halves, and chill 45 minutes.
• For filling: Cut apples into chunks.
• Toss with butter and remaining ingredients.
• Roll out smaller portion of dough and fit into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Fill with apples.
• Roll out remaining dough and fit on top.
• Sprinkle with topping, cut slits in top.
• Bake at 350°F degrees for 1 1/4 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Core, halve, and peel the apples. Cut into 1 inch chunks. Combine the apples and melted butter in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss until the apples are evenly coated. Roll premade dough to form a 12 inch circle. Transfer it to a 10 inch pie plate and press it into the bottom and sides of the plate. Leave a 1 inch overhang. Fill the pie plate with the apple mixture, mounding it toward the middle. Brush the edge of the bottom crust with water. Roll second piece of premade dough to 12 inches, transfer on top of the apple mixture and crimp the edges together. Prick the top crust with a fork (I usually make a smiley face). Bake until the filling is bubbling and the top is golden, about 1 1/4 hours.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare crust: Sift flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon into a bowl. Cut in the butter and shortening with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Moisten with just enough apple juice, tossing ingredients lightly with a fork. Form dough into a ball. Wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• 2. Cut off 1/3 of the dough and return it to the refrigerator. Roll out the other 2/3 between 2 sheets of wax paper. Line a greased 9-inch pie pan with the dough. Trim overhang and crimp decoratively. Preheat oven to 350°F.
• 3. Whisk all filling ingredients, except apples, in a bowl. Add apples, then spoon into the pastry-lined pie pan. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over filling.
• 4. Roll out the remaining dough between wax paper to form a circle 10 inches in diameter. Cut into strips 1/2-inch wide and arrange lattice-fashion over apples; trim ends of strips and crimp edges decoratively.
• 5. Bake pie in the center of the oven until the juices are bubbling and the apples are tender, about 55-60 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil if the crust browns too quickly.) Serve warm or cooled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
• Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
