I can't believe I still have the recipe:
5 Med. sized tart apples (Jonathan, Roman beauty or Granny Smith).
1/2 cup water and 2 or 3 drops of red food coloring.
Peel and slice apples
put peelings in a sauce pan with the water and food coloring and boil gently for 10 minutes.
Combine 1 cup sugar and 2 TBSP flour
Sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture in uncooked pie shell
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind.
1 TBSP lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Mix and add to the sliced apples
Place apples in the pie shell in layers, sprinkling sugar mixture over each layer. and dot with butter. 1 TBSP
Pour juice from peeling over the apple filling. Put on top crust and flute the edge. Slit top crust.
Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees then 40-50 minutes at 375 degrees
I was wondering if I could find this recipe, I throw so many things away if I haven't used them in a year. I am glad I kept this recipe, I have some Jonathan apples that need to be made into a pie!
It came with this no fail piecrust recipe:
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup shortening
1 egg
1 TBSP vinegar
5 TBSP ice water
Mix dry ingredients
Cut shortening into the flour
Put egg in a small bowl and whip together with the water and vinegar.
Mix with a fork into the flour and shortening gently combining to form a ball, chill in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
This makes enough for 2 double crust pies
This is the condition the recipe is in, the top part with the crust recipe is gone. So glad we have this blog so that I can preserve this delicious recipe!
