Print recipe| Meal type | Dessert |
This is an apple pie that always receives rave reviews when served. It is nice served warm.
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp white sugar
- 6 Cups apples (my favourite is McIntosh ... love the flavour!)
- 6 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 Tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 Tsp grated lemon rind (or 2 tsp of lemon juice, if you do not have a fresh lemon available)
- 6 Tbsp whipping cream
- pastry for a 9-inch pie plate
Directions
| Prepare the pastry and line a 9" pie plate. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F). | |
|
Core, peel and slice apples. Combine sugars, flour, cinnamon and salt together, then mix with the apples. Spread the apple mixture unto unbaked pastry shell. Dot with butter; sprinkle with lemon rind. Pour whipping cream over top, then cover with top crust, fluting the edges and making slits to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle about 1 tbsp of milk over the top and then sprinkle about 1 tsp of white sugar  | |
| Bake at 400 deg for 10 min and then reduce heat to 350 deg and continue baking 20-30 min or until mixture starts to bubble through the slits. | |
