Apples and apples and apples...

[Randi R]

I'm looking for a easy, easy apple pie recipe. I have a terrific one from an old Country Farm Journal cookbook, but my daughter swears she can't ever get it to turn out right -- does anyone have a favorite "foolproof" one?

I use the one out of the joy of cooking, minus the butter they tell you to put on the apples. I love it...

My only experience making apple pie would have been better named apple much in concrete. I would love a fool-proof recipe too.

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : New Favorites - Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 piece vanilla bean -- split lengthwise (4-inch)
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 pounds Rome, or other cooking apples -- peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 cup all-purpose flour -- divided
3 tablespoons ice water
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Vegetable cooking spray
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup regular oats
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons chilled stick margarine

Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a large bowl; discard bean. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar and next 2 ingredients to bowl; stir well. Add apple slices; toss well to coat. Set aside.

Combine 1/4 cup flour and ice water, stirring with a wire whisk until well blended; set aside. Combine remaining 3/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water mixture; toss with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Gently press into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap.

Roll pastry, still covered, into an 11-inch circle. Freeze for at least 10 minutes. Remove bottom sheet of plastic wrap from pastry; fit pastry into a 9-inch pieplate coated with cooking spray, and remove top sheet of plastic \wrap. Flute edges decoratively. Spoon apple mixture into pastry shell. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until apple mixture is crisp-tender.

Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and next 3 ingredients; cut in margarine until mixture is crumbly. Uncover pie, and sprinkle streusel over apple mixture. Bake, uncovered, an additional 25 minutes.
