It's that time of year again - apple picking season! Depending on where you live, and what type of variety of apple, the next few weeks of September and the beginning of October is the best time for most to go apple picking. Have an abundance of apples to use up after your day of picking? No worries - this month we've decided to pull together a couple of our favorite apple recipes that we are sure you will love.
Ingredients:- 5 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- About 9 cups apples (8-10 medium apples)
- 2 Tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg white
- Two uncooked pie crusts
|
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples; add to a large bowl.
- Add sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter together with apples.
- Roll out and place an uncooked pie crust in the bottom of a deep 9-inch pie plate.
- Add the apple mixture on top of the pie crust.
- Place the second pie crust on top and press down gently, marrying both crust edges together (I fold the bottom crust over the top crust, making a folded look).
- Beat the egg white in a small bowl, then gently brush a thin layer of egg white on the top pie crust.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour.
- If the crust starts to look brown, cover with tin foil.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.

“Orchards are a beautiful place and it’s a wonderful experience to do with your children so they see where apples come from. Nothing beats the sensation of picking the first apple of the season.” -Charles Pratt
