It's Apple Season! Texas Apple Pie Recipe
This recipe is from my great-grandma (who loved to bake) and offers a delicious twist on a classic apple pie. It's the perfect way to savor fresh fall apples. My favorite varieties for pies are Granny Smith and Golden Delicious; they create a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness.
Texas Apple Pie
By Kristina Case
Make a double crust (or you can purchase from the store to save time):
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup shortening
5 Tablespoons ice cold water
Cut flour, salt and shortening together using pastry blender. Add water until the dough holds together. Roll out bottom crust and place in 9" deep dish pie pan.
Pie filling:
Shred 5 large apples into unbaked pie crust.
Whisk together: 3 tablespoons butter, 1 ½ cups sugar and 1 egg. Pour in ¼ cup pineapple juice, 3 teaspoons flour, 1 tsp vanilla, ¼ teaspoon each nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. Pour batter over shredded apples. Roll out top crust and place over apple mix, sealing and crimping edges (add slits for steam to escape) and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, then turn to 375 degrees and bake for 30-40 more minutes until top crust is golden brown.
Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
