Apple Juice in Apple Pie Filling
Comments (8)Cheryl - I suppose you could drain it, at least part of it. Keep in mind the canned apples are cooked now so they won't contain anywhere near the moisture the moisture a fresh apple sliced for a pie would. All the liquid is now in the canning liquid so you'd want some of it at least I think. We like all the goo so when we open the jars wife dumps them into a pan re-heats it all and stirs in the cornstarch or tapioca we prefer for thickening then into the pie shell for baking. It looks just like the canned apple pie filling you would buy only tastes better. Dave...See MoreApples for Linda Lou's Apple Pie Jam
Comments (9)I did a test today of three apple varieties. I cut half of each into about 1/2 inch pieces and added 1/4 cup of water and placed it in a coffee cup into the microwave on high for 2 minutes. Wealthy stayed in chunks and held up very well after stirring but tasted blah. Gala turned to mush and absorbed all the liquid.[good for apple sauce]. My favorite was Honey Crisp. Pieces held up very well and the taste was wonderful. May I suggest you go to the supermarket and buy one of several varieties and do this test. I didn't try the McIntosh or the JonaMac as I only had half hour lunch break at the Farm Market. The Crispins and Northern Spies are much later here....See MoreDo you peel apples for apple pie?
Comments (9)Normally I use apples from my tree, which I grow organically (don't want to harm the hummingbirds), and I still peel them. I do not peel apples that I eat by themselves. I have a device that peels, cores, and slices in one fell swoop, as discussed last month, and so the whole ordeal takes only seconds. This week-end I went out to pick the last of the apples from my tree, and I noticed that they had vanished. I am wondering how they could have disappeared, especially since some of them were at the ends of spindly branches. So I bought apples at the store, and they were a lot more expensive than I expected. Sunday we went to the farmers' market, and I could have bought them there, but they would have been even more expensive. If you are making an apple galette with thin slices of apples on top, it might look pretty to have the peelings on, but it is easier to eat if they are removed. For a pie with a top, I would definitely peel them for guests. Lars...See MorePossible to over-bake Apple pie?
Comments (18)I baked a raspberry pie yesterday using an all butter crust. It is my standard crust that I make either with half butter and half lard or with all butter. Great flavour. Moe couldn't wait, so it was cut before it had completely cooled and set. Butter Lard Pastry Crust 2 cups all purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup butter 1/3 cup lard (or shortening- Crisco) 5 to 6 tablespoons of ice water, or more as needed Edited to add a pinch of baking powder (something my grandmother always did) NOTE: Or use all Butter (NOTE: if using for a sweet pie, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar.) Mix flour with salt, and cut in butter and lard. You can cut the butter/lard in using the food processor or with a pastry blender. Butter/lard should be the size of peas. Or you can use a box grater for the butter. (My preferred method) Put flour mixture in bowl and add water mixing with a fork until pastry comes together. Tip out on to a floured board. Quickly pat out and fold, a few times. Form in to a ball and cut in two pieces. Form each into a round flat disc and refrigerate for 1 hour. The secret to a good crust is to not over-handle the dough....See MoreUser
