Challenging, but I had fun making it. The filling is particularly delicious. Next time, I might coat the to crust with am egg wash for better esthetics and also increase the crust recipe because my pie plate is 10 inches.

Cooking Instructions

Note by Judith Choate: "I use as many different vegetables as I can in this, but if you're limited to only two or three, make sure that you include eggplant and carrots, sweet potato or wintersquash. This will balance the texture moisture and taste if the pie, which is also a terrific dish for those on salt free diets. I like it lightly seasoned, but you can reduce the spiciness by eliminating the hot prettier flakes and adding just a drop of Tobasco sauce."

Continue rolling out until you have an even circle 1/8 inch thick and about 2 inches wider than your pie plate.

Lift the pastry circle by gently folding in half over the rolling pin and slip it still folded into the pie plate and remove the rolling pin.

Classic Apple Pie Classic Apple Pie
After combining and tinkering with various recipes, I settled on this version. Good flavor and no soggy bottom. Leaving out excess fluid from the apples ensures that you don’t end up with a runny mess. The apples bake up nicely and even retain a very slight bite instead of turning into mush. If you like really soft apples in your pie and a runnier inside, simply add some of the excess apple fluid back into the pie.#Holiday #Thanksgiving #Dessert #American

Apple Pie From Scratch Apple Pie From Scratch
I suddenly thought of making it, and it was pretty good, so I uploaded as a record.The puff pastry would maybe better if you don't worry too much about it when making. The puff pastry is different from the one made with butter, so you don't have to let it sit for a while before getting on to the next process, and it doesn't shrink when you bake it.

Apple Crumble Pie (rev 1) Apple Crumble Pie (rev 1)
Apple Pie, one of our family's favorite pies. I have made many different versions. Some really good, some even better, but this one, so far brings together my best apple filling with a delicious crumb topping. Precooking the apples insures perfect tender spiced apples, no undercooked parts. The crumb topping is a generous crumbly topping, with the addition of toffee bits for a slight caramel flavor. Rev 1: I modified this recipe to precook the pie crust because I wanted a crispier crust. -
A Baker's Pie Crust A Baker's Pie Crust
The pie crust recipe in a cookbook I had was too sticky and hard to work, so I adapted it using a crispy biscuit recipe that I had. I used 300 g of medium-strength or all-purpose flour this time. I tried various ratios of flours, but this recipe worked well with all cake flour or 100 g of bread flour + 200 g of cake flour too. I love how this pie stays crispy even the next day. There's no need to fold the crust, plus you only need one bowl.The cream cheese and butter blend better if you work them with your hands, but they do melt with your body temperature. If you use a fork, they blend better with the flour and your hands don't get messy. If you knead it or the cream cheese and butter melt while you're making the crust, the layers won't form properly, so it's best to chill the cream cheese and butter very well beforehand, and to make a crumbly crust quickly. Chilled ingredients will result in the nicest crust when baked. This recipe yields around 8 to 10 mini-pies about the size of your palm, or one double pie crust. If you only need the bottom crust for a pie, use half the listed amounts. Recipe by Koharumama -

Easy Apple Pie with Frozen Puff Pastry Easy Apple Pie with Frozen Puff Pastry
My mother taught me this recipe. This is perfect when you have leftover apples or when you want to make an easy snack.Make sure you preheat the oven to 200℃/400°F! Changing the oven temperature halfway through is also key! This filling makes a light apple pie. If you want to make an apple pie with plenty of filling, increase the amount. I often hear that this pie is light on the sweetness, so if you have a sweet tooth, increase the amount of sugar to your liking.(Recipe by azura) -

This apple pie was invented as a way to use up apples that were about to go bad!The filling tastes better if you mound it generously in the center of the pies.Adjust the amount of sugar used depending on how sweet the apple you're using is.If the egg yolk is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. Don't add too much water! For 4 pies; about 10 x 5 cm [3.9 x 2.0 in] each. Recipe by Banyangarden
