Need Apple Pie Recipe STAT!

[hogflats]

There are billions of pie recipes online but they all seem to call for unusual things that we are not wanting. Does anyone have a basic deep dish applie pie recipe they are willing to share? We just want something that tastes good. We are looking for a 2 crust pie, not a dutch apple. That seems to be what I am finding a lot of online. Please help if you can!

I use a variety of apples; delicious, gala, granny smith and if available some jonathans-whatever you can find works as long as there's at least two varieties. For one deep dish pie you'll need about 3#-4# of apples

Peel, core and slice into approx 1/4 -1/2" wedges. Mix about 1 cup of sugar(more if the apples are tart), about 1 tsp of cinnamon and about 1 tablespoon of flour together. Now, Add the apples and mix so the apples are coated.; there will be extra dry/damp sugar mix. Taste before proceeding; if you think it needs more cinnamon or sugar add & mix it in.

Put in your pie crust so they're heaped up since they'll flatten when they cook. Now put the rest of the sugar mix evenly over the top. I dab about 2 Tablespoons of butter in small bits around the top before putting the top crust on.

Wet the bottom crust at the edge and place the top crust on-crimp between thumb and index finger to make a sealed crust

Cut some vent slits in top; you can do a pattern if you like or just three slits in the middle works too.

I lightly highlight the top crust with milk and then sugar to sort of glaze the pie but most folks don't.

Bake at 350 degree for approx 1 hr or until a fork pushed into one of the slits goes through the apples easily. You might have to cover the edges of the crust with foil if they start browning too quickly.
I also put a try under the pies since they are known to overflow and that is one sticky mess to clean up.

Good Luck and I'll check back in a while to see if you need help.

Oh thank you so much Kathy. There was an accident in the kitchen and my son spilled the pumpkin pies before they got baked! Oh and I made that olive beef dip last night and it is fabulous!

If you dont' have more crusts-you can make the filling for pumpkin pie and bake it in a greased dish. It's just as tasty, has less calories and is a quick alternative to making more crusts. ;D

I hope your family has a beautiful, memory filled Thanksgiving!
